Keyboard layout problem = No Super key

[ddixonr]

I've had this problem for a long time now, and I thought I give it another shot. When I first installed Gutsy about a year ago, everything worked fine. After a few updates, I noticed the Super key not working. Then the "right-click key". Actually the right-click key initiates the screen saver & locks the screen.

I've tried to use different layouts, but none make any improvements. I have a Toshiba Satellite A105 S4284 and currently running Hardy. In case it helps, here is the keyboard section of Xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

You need to set an Xkb option. You should add the following line to the keyboard section of your xorg.conf:


Option “XkbOptions” “altwin:super_win”


Restart X and your super key is mapped to your windows keys.

Good luck.

No dice. Any other ideas?
