xcape simply not working, Fedora 25 on a VM #85

I have used xcape for a while now, however I recently switched to using Fedora in a Virtual Machine. So far I've tried unsuccesfully to use xcape in this new environment.

Basically, I call:

xcape -e "Control_L=Escape"

At which point... nothing happens.

If I hit the left control and release immediately, the escape key is not "pressed". I tried using ps to verify that the process was running. 

ps -aux | grep xcape

output:

user   2816  0.0  0.0  30816   324 ?        Ssl  19:17   0:00 xcape -e Control_L Escape

Didn't Fedora 25 turn to Wayland by default?

Oh, didn't realize that that would cause the failure :s.

Sorry about that, should've done some research into Fedora 25 and Wayland. I guess I was confused since my other install of Fedora 25 still works with xcape... welp. Thanks though.
