scroll-lock does not work on Pegasos PPC
Last modified: 2006-09-01 15:58:44 UTC
The scroll-lock button does not work when using Xorg on a Pegasos PPC machine. The indicator light does not change, and there is no effect of the button, for examle terminal output does not pause, if scroll-lock is pushed.
Could you attach /etc/X11/xorg.conf, /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of xev when you press Scroll-Lock? Thanks.
Created attachment 69199 [details] xorg.conf The only thing changed from the original is to correct the BusID bug: czp:/etc/X11 # diff xorg.conf xorg.conf~ 104c104 < BusID "PCI:1@0:8:0" --- > BusID "PCI:1@1:8:0"

Nothing obviously I can see. BTW, the Scroll-Lock LED doesn't work for me as well (i386). But I must admit that I never use Scroll-Lock anyway. Just downgraded xkeyboard-config to the version of 10.0, which didn't help. So this can't be the problem.
It worked fine with i386 beta2, but I just looked at beta4, and it does not work any more. I sometimes use it instead of ^s to halt terminal output...
In case you still have the Beta2 media available, could you do a "rpm --changelog -qp "xorg-x11-<whatever>.rpm" and attach the output? This would make it easier for me. Unfortunately we don't keep the old Beta media. :-(
Sorry, I don't have it any more. Just deleted two days ago :-( My compaq notebook had beta2 running until yesterday and tested scroll lock on that, when reporting that it does not work on PPC.
Still broken with Beta >= 8?
Tested on factory from 22 03 2006: scroll-lock light does not work, but it works correctly, eg: with scroll lock enabled Konsole scrolls window content instead of browsing through history.
Thanks for the status update!
If it's only the light which does not work, do we want to close this as RESOLVED, or keep it as minor?
Better keep it as minor. Something is still broken ...
Ok. I found a machine, where Scroll Lock LED works. Closing as fixed.
