626.0. "How to modify keymap in CDE?" by RULLE::BRINGH () Tue Mar 25 1997 12:55
Hi
I am confused about keymapping in CDE and DigitalUNIX v4.0B. A customer is
having problems with a PCXAL-NF keyboard that he wants to configure as
a Swedish keyboard. Everything seems to work except that he is missing
the key, code 0x53, supposted to be ' and *. xmodmap -pke says that 0x53(83)
is defined and is ' and * but nothing happens. We have replaced the keyboard,
nothing wrong with the keyboard. I don't know if this specific keyboard is
supported, SPD just states that PCXAL-xx is supported. I borrowed a PCXAL-JA
to be able to troubleshoot this and I am having no problems with that one.
In v3.2x I used to change the keymaps in /usr/lib/X11/keymaps in order to
make a permanent system wide changes. man dxkeyboard says that
/usr/lib/X11/keymaps is read. But I can remove every keymap in
/usr/lib/X11/keymaps. But that doesn't bother dxkeyboard. Can anyone
explain to me how this works? Or point to some documentation.
And also, if the customer doesn't want to create a xmodmap for every user,
where is the best place to put systemwide keyboard customizations.
I have read note 623 but I would like to have an answer if someone can
give me one. I don't beleive that man dxkeyboard is very clear, or correct,
since dxkeyboard seems do skip /usr/lib/X11/keymaps.
Regards,
Mikael Bringh,
Unix-support, Sweden.

The key mapping was totally rewritten from V3.2 with the new
version of X11R6 shipped with V4.0. This issue about changes
in keyboard/key-mapping has nothing to do with CDE, can't
help you there.
If you can reproduce this on a local system, try booting the
V4.0x system with DECwindows instead of CDE (change XLOGIN from
"cde" to "xdm" in /etc/rc.config). See if you have the same
problem. If so, open an IPMT against the Xserver folks and let
them address it.
