Shift Lock [2]

The shift lock key only works for the Mozilla application but does not work for other applications. Is there anything I can do?

The target machine runs Red Hat Linux 9 and we are running Xmanager 1.3.9.

I am using a Microsoft kbd, but this problem exists with all our keyboards, from the very inexpensive to the very expenisive.

You can see the key events generated by Xmanager using the "xev" program on Linux.

Please run "xev" on an xterm window, and try to press/release the CapsLock key on your keyboard. The events look like as following:

KeyPress event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x800001,
root 0x29, subw 0x0, time 26761370, (70,32), root:(658,133),
state 0x0, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe5, Caps_Lock), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""

KeyRelease event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x800001,
root 0x29, subw 0x0, time 26763624, (70,32), root:(658,133),
state 0x2, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe5, Caps_Lock), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""

If a Caps_Lock event is generated correctly, your keyboard has no problem.

You are right... The problem is not related to Xmanager. It seems to be a problem peculiar to Gnome, since the caps lock works fine with KDE and Mozilla.

Any chance you can help me with this problem?
