xmodmaprc should get applied after detecting every input device #7

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. MM_X_FETCH_XMODMAPRC='yes'
2. Fetches xmodmaprc
3. xmodmap runs but does not get applied because no input devices are
connected when X starts.

What is the expected output?
xmodmap should run after every input device is detected.

What do you see instead?
xmodmap runs only once right as X starts

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.22.0-72-x86_64

I do not know how to make this happen. I have a PS3 BD remote on order. Once it
arrives, I should have a better chance of figuring out what needs to be done.

I'm thinking it can be done by writing a udev rule to run a command when it 
detects
an input device.

I have not been able to cause xmodmap to run after Xorg detects the keyboard 
from
udev. There appears to be a race condition.

However, commit #6098 adds support for setting the Xkb configuration options 
that
will be passed to Xorg by udev. You should be able to use the XkbOptions to do 
the
desired mapping.
