How to restore Windows Key functionality

[Patkos Csaba]

Hi all,

 

Somehow I've lost the functionality of my windows key. More exactly, till a few days ago when I pressed the windows key on my keyboard it poped up the kde menu (aka start menu). I don't know what I did, but it doesn't do it any more. I looket in KDE control center at keyboard shortcuts, but I can only set the windows key as "meta key" - to use it in combination whit other keys.

Any ideea about how to restore original functionality?

 

Thanks.

In general its probably not in the xorg.conf.... here is the model...

 

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Generic Keyboard"

Driver "keyboard"

.

.

.

Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:left_meta_win"

EndSection

I added that line to my xorg.conf, restarted X, KDE, but nothing has changed. WinKey still not pops up start menu.

 

Here is my entry from my xorg.conf file:

 

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Keyboard1"

Driver "kbd"

Option "XkbModel" "pc105"

Option "XkbLayout" "us"

# Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin"

Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:left_meta_win"

EndSection

 

I tryed outcomment XkbOption lines, or comment them ... either way it is no change.
