Bug in X11 and/or xmonad? was: [xmonad] xmonad on solaris, input issue

Hi! I wanted to reply earlier but I still can't figure out under which circumstances it seems to work (I got it once to work with ghc-6.8.3 but the next compile failed again..). I will get back to you when I got a working setup, thanks so far :) best regards, Stephan Christian Walther wrote:

Sorry, I'm completely at a loss here. I was just reviewing my xmonad.hs when I came across the NumlockMask. This is used to tell XMonad where the NumLock key is, because it might influence ModMask. I recompiled xmonad using the default, and indeed: If ModMask isn't explicitely set, ModMask doesn't work *when NumLock is on*. Is it possible that your NumLock is on (which is it by default even on Sun keyboards)?

Regards Christian

PS: Now I messed up installation. After moving back my old configuration xmonad keeps crashing on me with "Illegal instruction fault." Luckily I have a backup because I'm in a workshop and don't have the time to debug this issue.
