Hello. I was asked to forward this to the xmonad-list if Spencer didn't answer. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mathias Svensson Date: Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 10:55 PM Subject: Patch for haskell-x11 To: spencerjanssen@gmail.com Hi. I found a bug in the haskell-x11 library, causing all keybindings in xmonad to fail on big-endian systems. The problem is that the keycode in XKeyEvent is an "unsigned int" and not a "KeyCode" (which is an alias for unsigned char). However in Graphics/X11/Xlib/{Event,Extras}.hsc is is read as though it was a KeyCode. This causes no problems on x86 as they result in the same data being saved. However on big-endian this assumption means that the read keycode is always 0. I have fixed the problems in Event.hsc and Extras.hsc, that caused xmonad to not work on big-endian, though I'm pretty sure there is a lot more similar bugs out there (such as first_keycode in XMappingEvent being an int). -- Mathias 'Idolf Hatler' Svensson
