Fix broken shift+down/up/8/= in X11 and KDE
Authored by: romcross on May 10, '04 04:02:39PM

I too am having X11 + KDE asterisk and plus problems. However, unfortunately, none of the suggestions I've found on mac os x hints have helped so far.

I tried removing the sections you recommend, and creating my own .Xmodmap however this did not solve the problem, and I'm certain the .Xmodmap was being read by the system.

I've even resorted to uninstalling Apple's X11 and installing Xfree86 from binary with Fink, but the same problem remains.

To me this suggested that there may be some problem with KDE itself or the binaries, but before committing to the time needed for a complete build, I wanted some confirmation that this investement of time would pay off with a working asterisk and plus key in KDE's konsole.

Does anyone know whether the broken keymapping problem can be fixed by recompiling KDE from source via fink? I'm really very sad that I can't type 'ls *' with a multi terminal konsole :-(

Thanks.

Thanks for all the tips, but what gives? I follow all the xmodmap steps given and start konsole. The * works then, however, when I resize, it fails. Too bad X11 is so painful in OS X, my linux buddy is laughing at me.
