[gentoo-laptop] Ctrl+Shift shortcuts don't work

[gentoo-laptop] Ctrl+Shift shortcuts don't work

[Starling]

Hi!

I've recently installed Gentoo 2006.1 Linux on a Sony VAIO PCG-GR315MP
laptop.
Everything is fine, except one thing: shortcuts like Ctrl+Shift+O don't
work.
If I first press Ctrl first and then Shift and O then it works like Ctrl+O
if I start with Shift then it works like Shift+O.

I tried pc104 and pc105. Here is my Keyboard configuration from
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Keyboard1"
    Driver      "kbd"

    Option "XkbRules"   "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel"   "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout"  "gb"

EndSection


Could anyone suggest what's wrong? I'm developing in Eclipse and there are
loads of shortcuts with Ctrl+Shift and Alt+Shift.


Thanks in advance,

S

Maybe stupid suggestion, but what about window manager (Gnome, KDE,
etc.), doesn't he has any shortcut on ctrl+shift? I had similiar 
problem, when I configured changing keyboard's languages. But then I
moved to xfce and configured directly kbd to changing languages this way
(but it's not your problem as I can see ;-) ):

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Keyboard0"
   Driver      "kbd"
   Option "XkbLayout"    "us,cz"
   Option "XkbOptions"   "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
EndSection

Another stupid suggestion:
Isn't in config Section with "Keyboard0"?

Sorry that I had only such silly advices, as I said "you never know when
you will need silly advice, but it'll be surely sooner than you
suggest" ;-)

Good luck,

I use an Acer Aspire 300X (3003LMI, or something like that) and used
the solution posted here to get all my special and multimedia keys
working:

http://www.fwconsult.com/acer-install/index.html

See the section on Keyboard and following.

This approach works great for me, obviously it will not work exactly
the same way for you but the principle should be the same. See also:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_Multimedia_Keys

Perhaps this is overkill if everything except the key combination you
mention works fine.
