Changed xorg keyboard layout, now no Windows button in X!

#1 Post by Humbletech99 »

Hi,
I've changed my keyboard layout to uk in xorg.conf which works correctly and the keys are in the right place except for the Windows keys which don't work.

This is annoying because i wrote keybindings for them in Fluxbox to control the window manager.

When i run xev and press the Windows keys, it reports they have no symbol attached to them.

So I created a .xmodmaprc and mapped the keys to Super_L and Super_R which is what they appeared as in xev under us keyboard.

They now appear as Super_L and Super_R in xev under this new configuration but they still don't trigger the Fluxbox commands!

Any ideas?
