Well, I had this problem (and still, in some less drastic way, have). It |
15 |
ignored all modificators from time to time (depends if the X started OK |

It started with 1.4 xorg and it seems to be a little better now (shift |
19 |
works every time now for me). |

Something similar is in the bugzilla both at gentoo and in the upstream. |

If it is possible for you, you might try downgrading to 1.3, but they |
