Bug 48423 – xbindkeys not compatible with xorg-x11 on amd64

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ulysses Cruz 2004-04-19 19:26:08 UTC]

x11-misc/xbindkeys-1.7.0 appears to block all keyboard input to x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0 on the amd64 platform.

Keyboard inputs directly to the X server (such as ctrl-alt-backspace) and to the ttys (such as ctrl-alt-fx) are still functional; and killing the xbindkeys process immediately restores keyboard input to the X applications.

Can amd64 guys confirm this please.

[Comment 2 Danny van Dyk (RETIRED) 2004-06-02 09:24:17 UTC]

Hm, can't confirm this...
Jason, Travis: What about you ?

[Comment 3 Danny van Dyk (RETIRED) 2004-06-02 09:38:59 UTC]

People in #gentoo-amd64 couldn't confirm this bug as well as I couldn't.

I can confirm this bug on my config.

Of particular interest for this ebuild:

This was working flawlessly on my x86 Gentoo.
I tried both 1.7.1 and 1.7.0 without success.
