arrow keys do not work using "8.10"

[phibuntu]

Hi all

I have just upgraded to ubuntu "8.10" and tried my keyboard layout (http://www.freimann.eu/eliphi/phi/keyboard).

For the ".Xmodmap" see:
http://www.freimann.eu/eliphi/phi/keyboard/XKeymap.tgz

The ".Xmodmap" worked properly in several linux distributions including all versions of ubuntu before "8.10".

Details: Only the "right arrow key" works. All the special characters using the "window key" as modifier don't work.

I googled some forums including

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=961322

but even there I have not found any solution.
Is something wrong in my configuration?

"xev" says that my "window key" has keycode 133.

The arrow keys in the sequence "up" "left" "down" "rigth" cause the following output:

Any idea?

The Keycodes on "8.04" and "8.10" differ. I had to change the .Xmodmap file to the following and now everything works well.


keycode 107 = Delete

! Windows key, left and right
!
!keycode 115 = Super_L

! left & right alt and ctrl are treated same:

!Both control keys as symbol "Control" (and Capslock also: 66)
keycode 66 = Control_L
keycode 109 = Control_R
keycode 37 = Control_L

!both alt keys as symbol (mod1)
keycode 64 = Alt_L
keycode 108 = Alt_R

!Right menu key is meta (as ESC) used for Emacs (mod2)
!keycode 117 = Hyper_R
keycode 117 = Meta_R

!Print screen is treated as Multi_Key (mod 3)
keycode 111 = Multi_key

!Num Lock key as Num_Lock (mod 4)
