Full Text Bug Listing

Hi there,

I want to inform you, that there seems to be a problem with libXi in connection
with KDE and "special keys" (like Play, Stop, ...) on multimedia keyboards. For
me it helped putting "=x11-libs/libXi-1.1.0" into my package.mask - no side
effects found so far.

I also submitted a bug report upstream:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136792

kde-misc/kkbswitch-1.4.3 stop working with libXi-1.1.0

I suspect it would cause special keys to stop working everywhere because your
XKB keymap doesn't load. Could you confirm that it's not specific to KDE?

I confirm this bug. In my KDE additional keyboard keys stopped working. xev
still reacts to them. Also I can no longer type any Russian letters (English
ones are displayed). Although keyboard indicator shows RU.

Same here. My english-greek keyboard layout stopped working. Downgrading to
libXi-1.0.1 works ok.

Try recompiling your xorg-server.

(In reply to comment #5)
> Try recompiling your xorg-server.

Yeah, it works now. Thanks!

Maybe you could add a notice after the emerging of libXi-1.1.0 that informs the
user of possible re-compilation of xorg-server?

Recompiling xorg-server helps. Thanks!

Reassingning. A post istall notice would indeed be nice.
