When I have 'ctrl+shift' shortcut to switch layouts, hotkeys like 'ctrl+shift+BUTTON' doesn't work for me. This bug already have patch in freedesktop.org bugzilla (bug - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865 and patch - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=33142), but this patch is not in upstream. Could you add this patch to portage? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add some layouts to XKB (more than one) 2. Use 'ctrl+shift' to switch layout 3. Try to use 'ctrl+shift+BUTTON' shortcut in any application Actual Results: XKB switches the layout, but shortcut doesn't work Expected Results: Shortcut works, and XKB switches layout only at button-release # emerge --info xorg-server Portage 2.2_rc67 (default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.3, glibc-2.11-r1, 2.6.33-gentoodv1400 i686) ================================================================= System Settings ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.33-gentoodv1400-i686-Intel-R-_Celeron-R-_CPU_540_@_1.86GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:30:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p2 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.10 dev-lang/python: 2.6.4-r1, 3.1.1-r1 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.0-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.6.0-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.3.3-r2, 4.4.3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.33 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA LOKI-EULA Q3AEULA sun-bcla-java-vm dlj-1.1 PUEL skype-eula" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/home/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.iteam.net.ua/ http://mirror.leaseweb.com/gentoo/ ftp://de-mirror.org/distro/gentoo/" LANG="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_ALL="" LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="ru en" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /var/lib/layman/kde /var/lib/layman/roslin" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa bash-completion berkdb bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdda cdr chm cli consolekit cracklib crypt ctype cups curl cxx dbus dcc_video dell djvu dri dts dvd dvdr eds emboss encode evo exif fam fbcon fbcondecor ffmpeg filter firefox flac fortran gdbm geoip gif glib gpm gstreamer hal handbook iconv icq imagemagick ipv6 jabber jpeg jpeg2k kde kipi kontact lame laptop libnotify mad mikmod mjpeg mng modules mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap mysql ncurses networkmanager nls nptl nptlonly ntfs ogg opengl openmp openssl oscar pam pcre pdf perl phonon pm-utils png policykit ppds pppd python qt-webkit qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection resolvconf samba sdl semantic-desktop session skype smbclient spell spl sql sqlite ssl startup-notification subversion svg sysfs taglib tcpd theora threads thunar tiff truetype unicode usb utf8 v4l v4l2 vcd vim-syntax vnc vorbis wav webkit wicd wifi win32codecs wma x264 x86 xml xmp xorg xscreensaver xulrunner xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="synaptics evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="ru en" NETBEANS_MODULES="python ide nb harness" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS ================================================================= Package Settings ================================================================= x11-base/xorg-server-1.7.5.902 was built with the following: USE="hal ipv6 nptl sdl xorg -debug -dmx -kdrive
