For some reason Xephyr interprets the Alt Gr
key as Return
. Therefore I cannot enter special characters that need Alt Gr
. Also other non alphanumerical keys seem to be messed up.
I start Xephyr with this command:
Xephyr :1.0 -query localhost -host-cursor -screen 1280x960 -keybd ephyr,,,xkbmodel=evdev,xkblayout=de
I couldn't find an explanation of the -keybd
option. The values I use I guessed from an example I found somewhere in the web.
I have a Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 v1.0 and use Fedora Linux 14 x86_64 with KDE.
