I have a problem with function keys on a Sparcstation running X11R4 twm and OpenWindows release 2.0. Many of the function keys do not appear to send any "code". Using xev I have found that these keys have a "KeyRelease event", but lack a "KeyPress event". In this example F8 shows only the release, while F9 has both a press and release. KeyRelease event, serial 15, synthetic NO, window 0xb00001, root 0x8006c, subw 0xb00002, time 3285832, (49,57), root:(902,694), state 0x0, keycode 24 (keysym 0xffc5, F8), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 characters: "" KeyPress event, serial 15, synthetic NO, window 0xb00001, root 0x8006c, subw 0xb00002, time 3298878, (49,57), root:(902,694), state 0x0, keycode 25 (keysym 0xffc6, F9), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 characters: "" KeyRelease event, serial 15, synthetic NO, window 0xb00001, root 0x8006c, subw 0xb00002, time 3299028, (49,57), root:(902,694), state 0x0, keycode 25 (keysym 0xffc6, F9), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 characters: "" How can I get all of the function keys to have both presses and releases?

Using xev I have found that these keys have a "KeyRelease event", but
lack a "KeyPress event".
I hope not. Such a server does not conform to the X protocol as intended.
