Description
Replication:
- Create an XKB mapping with RedirectKeys
- Set this mapping by: xkbcomp a_modified_xkb_schema $DISPLAY
- Notice how your XKB mapping works
- Adjust your screen brightness up/down with the Fn+brightness keys
- Notice how the RedirectKey parts of your XKB mapping no longer work
I sample program which replicated this behavior can be provided if necessary.
System:
- Ubuntu "Karmic Koala"
- KDE4 with Compiz
