Title: Xorg key bindings using JWM
Post by: gwalther on September 20, 2009, 12:32:49 PM

TC2.3 rc3 -Key bindings don't work when I first boot up into JWM
If I restart window manager from menu...then key bindings work.

If I exit to prompt and then ...startx...they do not work again
until I restart window manager from menu.

/tem/wm_errors....show a lot of key errors after boot

seems like startx does something different when starting JWM then ..restart window manager..does?

Where you using Xorg when you tried ?
I have the problem  with missing key bindings only when I use Xorg.
If I use  Xvesa keybindings work on boot up.

I rarely use Xorg. Providing more info will surely help.
Are you running confless? If so you may need a keyboard section?
As I don't use Xorg, others in the community will be more knowlegeable than I with reagrd to such.

 I run with a xorg.conf...the same one I have used since   tc2.0
(went back and checked and key bindings worked on boot in  tc2.0)
My current xorg.conf  does have a keyboard section with
..driver..."kbd"

Anyways thanks for your checking and response...it's not a big deal
to restart  the window manager...I have bound a little script in .jwmrc-keys to F8
to toggle conky on and off...thats how I noticed issue.

Partially solved

Since my key bindings worked on boot with tc 2.0...but not with tc 2.3 rc3
I  tried the  .xsession from tc v2.0 in tc 2.3rc3...and ...the key bindings
worked again on boot...so

played around some more and found that if I replaced the ...waitforX...in
the .xsession from tc 2.3rc3 ..with... ...sleep 5...the key bindings again work on boot

Don't know if this is because of my old hardware or what...but all works now
