Every time I restart my machine, the Win key (Super_R/L or mod4) stops functioning, means - no key combinations involving this key work. the out put of xmodmap looks fine to me. $ xmodmap xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock Caps_Lock (0x42) control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_L (0x7d), Meta_L (0x9c) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80) mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c) $ However, I found the way to bring it back. I run gnome-keyboard-properties and change my the "Keyboard model" value from "Generic 105-key (Intl) PC", which I have by default, to "Generic 102-key (Intl) PC" for instance, and close that window to apply the changes. Amazingly, the Win key starts working. Now I can change this value back original one. The story repeats on next start-up. This is FC6 and I am using fluxbox as my window manager. What can be the problem here? -- regards, Oleksandr Korneta /The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from./
