If anyone can help I would be most grateful. I have recently compiled emacs from source and everything is working really well, however I have this weird problem. If I use [(control f)] or [(meta f)] they perform in an expected manor. I use [(control meta x)] for 'eval-defun in emacs lisp, but suddenly emacs cannot see the combination of control meta anything. If I use [(escape)(control x)] the correct behaviour occurs, [(meta x)] works and so does [(control x)]. I did the key combination and then [(control h)(l)] but the key presses did not even register, while things like [(control hyper x)] do, giving: C-H-s-x. I am using xorg 6.7.0, and I have the same problem in an xterm, however if I am in a tty the [(control meta x)] combination works, go figure. I have control and caps-lock swapped, and when I do the [(control h)(l)] after doing a bunch of [(control f)] or [(meta f)] (by meta I mean the alt key on this keyboard) they combinations show up correctly. Thanks for any help with this. Rohan
