FC5: press euro key and laptop suspends

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

Yesterday I did a fresh install of FC5 on my Acer Ferrari 4005. I only
use the Gnome desktop and have applied all updates as of today. Since
the euro (€) and dollar ($) keys on the keyboard don't work out of the
box I tried to fix that (see below). The dollar key works fine.
Unfortunately when I activate the euro key and press it then it prints
the euro sign but immediately afterwards the laptop's screen goes black
and seem to go into some kind of standby mode. Anyone have an idea why
this is happening and how I prevent this from happening?

Thanks,
Patrick

0) in grub.conf I added i8042.nomux no_timer_check

1) apply the patch from
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=185075

2) add in /etc/rc.d/rc.local the following lines:

# Rationale: "NoSymbol" keys have nothing to do with X apps - they must
# be handled on the lower level if at all (they do their work).
# Therefore I've mapped them to the keycodes that never get
# reported to X (I think). "XF86Display" mapped according to the only
# other occurrence in <inet> file. "Help" and "XF86Launch*" buttons
# mapped by majority and grouping of "XF86Launch*" buttons in <inet>
# file. "dollar" was mapped in resemblance of it ASCII code and "Euro"
# used to plug a discontinuity
