Bug 109631 – Xorg-6.8.2-r4 the 0 key doesnt work in X

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bharath Ramesh 2005-10-17 14:08:31 UTC]

I am running Xrg-6.8.2-r4 on my Inspiron 9300. I have the ATI Radeon Mobility
X300 and I am using the ati-drivers from portage. In my X I am unable to use the
number key 0 but I can use shift key to get ")" not the number 0. I tried using
the open source ati drivers from Xorg. I have the same problem.

running xev and hitting the 0 key produces the following:

FocusOut event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0xe00001,
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

FocusIn event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0xe00001,
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor

KeymapNotify event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  2   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start X
2. Start any application like xterm
3. Hit the number 0 key

Actual Results:  
Number 0 doesnt register.

Expected Results:  
Number 0 should register.

This is the xorg.conf that I use.

What's the output of `setxkbmap -print`, and please attach your X log.

[Comment 3 Bharath Ramesh 2005-10-17 21:34:43 UTC]

The output of `stxkbmap -print`:

xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)"       };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc/pc(pc104)+pc/us"    };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"     };
};

This is the Xorg.0.log while X is running.

I ran the Ubuntu 5.04 live cd which has Xorg 6.8.2, The "0" key works fine in it.

Output of `setxkbmap -print`:

xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)"       };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc/pc(pc104)+pc/us"    };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"     };
};

the output of `xev` when 0 is pressed:

KeyPress event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
    root 0x40, subw 0x0, time 150265, (1296,375), root:(1316,462),

I am also attaching the xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log from the live CD.

Please reopen if this remains an issue with modular X.
