[comp.unix.ultrix] Help needed with "xmodmap" under DECWindows

vaf@Valinor.Stanford.EDU (Vince Fuller) (08/29/90)

I recently (today) had DEC's 4.1 field test release installed on my system and
have found that the new X server included with it has broken the behavior of
certain key combinations. In particular, control-[, control-\, and control-]
no longer generate the proper control characetrs. They should generate octal
ASCII codes 033, 034, and 035, respectively. Reading through the documentation
for "xmodmap", I can't figure out how I would use it to fix this problem. Can
someone enlighten me?

	Thanks,

Your pre-release kit should include instructions for reporting bugs and
receiving support.   This bug has been fixed and should be released
with the next pre-release kit.  If you use these combinations only with
dxterm, you can work around the problem by using the UWS4.0 version of
dxterm.
