Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Compiler: (installed from rpm) (installed from rpm) OS: Linux Since upgrading to KDE 3.1.1 from KDE 3.0.5 (XFree 4.3), exactly on key on the german key doesn't work any. Since happens not only on my system (Suse 8.0 based) but only on another system (Suse 7.2 based), both kde updates were installed through rpms. The key is the 'larger than'/ 'smaller than'/ 'pipe' key. If I press it, _nothing_ happens at all. I hope that someone knows a solution. This behaviour is independent of the application I'm running, it happens in konsole, konqueror, anywhere in any of the text edit controls. This does not apply to 'text mode' (runlevel 3 et al).
I do not believe this to be a KDE problem at all. Your system must be configured for a 104-key PC keyboard instead of a 105-key one. The extra key is exactly the one in question. To be sure this is an XFree86 misconfiguration, please run a non-KDE application in your X, like xedit or (X)Emacs or similar program. If the key doesn't work either, check your configuration. Similarly, in kxkb, set to 105-key keyboard that it should solve.
yes, your keyboard is misconfigured
