Description Martin Pohlack 2004-11-27 03:50:44 UTC 
Compiling xemacs using xorg-6.8 results in broken AltGr behaviour.

Especially annoying is that, commands are canceled if AltGr is pressed.

Preliminary patch works for me

You have to put this patch to /usr/portage/app-editors/xemacs/files and apply
it from the ebuild like:

...
	 # see bug 58350
	 epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-gdbm.patch
	 autoconf-2.13

+	 epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-xorg.diff

	 epatch ${FILESDIR}/quick-fix.patch
...

bump, any news on this one ???
Comment 3 Martin Pohlack 2006-07-04 15:03:18 UTC 
Ok, after nearly two years of filing this bug and providing a one-line patch, could this be solved, /please/.

I just upgraded to xorg 7.0 and the problem still persists.  I think the patch should be applied in xemacs' ebuild.

This bug has been fixed upstream in xemacs-21.4.17. Bumping xemacs in portage is tracked in bug #97786.

My xemacs overlay currently contains xemacs-21.4.19 and is available at http://moving-innovations.com/svn/xemacs
Comment 5 Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2006-11-26 01:23:32 UTC 
I'm closing this bug as xemacs 21.4.17 is now the oldest version available, and this version solves the reported issue.
