I had an interesting problem a few days ago.
I have an xmodmap command in my .xinitrc. All
of a sudden I got the following messages @startup
of X windows:
xmodmap: please release the following keys within 2 seconds:
F12 (keysym 0xffc9, keycode 10)
F7 (keysym 0xffc4, keycode 23)
F8 (keysym 0xffc5, keycode 24)
KP_Decimal (keysym 0xffae, keycode 57)
Multi_key (keysym 0xff20, keycode 74)
backslash (keysym 0x5c, keycode 95)
Insert (keysym 0xff63, keycode 101)
Num_Lock (keysym 0xff7f, keycode 105)
Caps_Lock (keysym 0xffe5, keycode 126)
Meta_R (keysym 0xffe8, keycode 129)
The message was repeated a number of times, each time doubling
the number of seconds to 4,8,16,32. Finally I got the message:
xmodmap: unable to set modifier mapping, keyboard problem
I have never seen these messages before. I did lose bindings of some of the
function keys. Does anyone know the possible cause of the problem???
Thanks in advance.
PS: The environment is Sparcstatation 1+, SunOS 4.1, Sun's Openwin 2.0
