- Yes, it sounds like something is wrong. Do keyboard equivalents of
- menu items never work? Are you running under X windows? If you're
- using X, that may be the problem; here's the relevant section from my
- XF86Config:
-
- Section "Keyboard"
- Protocol "Standard"
- AutoRepeat 500 5
- ServerNumLock
- LEFTALT meta
- RIGHTALT modeshift
- SCROLLLOCK modelock
- RIGHTCTL compose
- EndSection
