Modifying keyboard mapping under HP Entria remote X Terminal

[Equipe hebergement]

We have a beautiyfull HP Entria terminal running under Enware 7.10

Under our HP servers, no problem. But under our RedHat servers, under gnome we have a keymap trouble.

After support from redhat, they say that our keymap is not good for gnome
Here is the result of "modmap -pm":

xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift Shift_L (0x1b), Shift_R (0x62)
lock Caps_Lock (0x1d)
control Control_L (0x1a), Control_R (0x61)
mod1 Alt_L (0x22), Alt_R (0x42), Mode_switch (0x84)
mod2
mod3
mod4
mod5

They say that Mode_Switch (0x84) should not have the same modifier as other.

But how to change that ?

Thanks for help

To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer

I believe there is an Xterminal version of xmodmap, find under /opt/hpxt/enware/

It's been a while, but In any case is not specific to the xterm.

Later,

I'd be interested to know ...

a) version of redhat,

b) is kde affected ?

c) what the effects are of the incorrect Mode_Switch setting ..ie whar keysyms etc do not return as expected.

d) Language .... french ?

e) does this occur in a gnome-terminal only ... or are others also affected ?

a) Version of RedHat is 8.0

b) Kde is not affected

c) The effects is: In any gnome application, if the letter I type is belong to the application menu, the menu is opening instead of typing the letter

d) Language is english. Keyboard too. But yes, I'm french :)

e) all gnome application, even running under KDE

I find a tool for keyboard mapping under Enware.
xtkeymap

But this tool apparently does not working for my ENTRIA (firmware 6.10 and enware 7.11)

In entria log i see :
read_details_name_table(): malloc_error when loading the xtkeymap_DB file.

please try the following :

export in users .profile or equivalent the following variable : export XKB_DISABLE=1

ensure the .profile is being sourced .... eg for gnome-terminal ensure preferences->Use --login by default, is enabled,then
start your application via the commnad line of the gnome-terminal .... result ?

I beleive this is based around differences between HP's and Xfrees Xserver X keyboard extensions ... I maybe wrong, other than that I can only suggest

a) use kde

b) raise a call with your local HP Response Centre ...

ps looking forward to the big Rugby match on Sunday.
