Error with keys in certain rows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.turn on logkeys, it starts normally
2.turn off logkeys by typing "gkeys --kill" results in the following text
3."kofjeya --jikk"; which when you compare the top row letters are getting 
correctly mapped (row starting with q), but second row letters are off by one.

What is the expected output?gkeys --kill
What do you see instead?kofjeya --jikk


What version of the product are you using (`logkeys --help`)?0.1.1a
On what operating system?ubuntu 10.04


Please provide any additional information below.
If applicable, also attach contents of /proc/bus/input/devices, the output
of command `dumpkeys -n > dumpkeys.output`, and any
other relevant files.

When I try to open dumpkeys.output with gedit I get an error, can't recognize 
encoding. It then gives me a choice of "Current Locale (UTF-8)" and "Western 
(ISO-8859-15)", The Current Locale does not work, but the Western does for 
correctly opening the file.

Also, I am on an HP laptop (pavillion)

kaue.mendez,

can you please submit your 
`dumpkeys -n > dumpkeys.out` and `logkeys --export-keymap=out.map` too?

I remember checking, but I couldn't figure out why it goes wrong. :$

I will look at it again, but if anybody has anything to chip in, please feel 
free to. :)

Thanks.

For the time being, if it suits you (i.e. keys look right), run logkeys with -u 
switch.

TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE

As the project lead said use -u switch, that is


sudo logkeys -u --start

Bingo !

Just to try >>

$touch test.log
$sudo logkeys -u --start --output test.log

on another terminal window, try

$tail --follow test.log

I hope the problem is solved. I had the same prob, but now it's alll fixed xD

Kudos to the developer!

Solution:
1) Create a fresh keymap:

sudo logkeys --export-keymap mykeymap.txt

2) Start to modify the keymap

vim mykeymap.txt

3) Find the following lines:

<code>
<LCtrl>
܂
a A
s S
d D
f F
g G
h H
j J
k K
l L
; : ;
'
<LShft>
` ~
܀
\ |
z Z
x X
c C
v V
b B
n N
m M
, < ,
<RShft>
</code>

4) Remove the line directly following <LCtrl> (with comma-like thingy) and put 
it back before <LShft>. The number of lines between <LCtrl> and <LShft> remains 
the same

5) Remove the two lines directly following <LShft> (with squiggle and 
cross-like thingy) and put these back before <LShft>. The number of lines 
between <LCtrl> and <RShft> remains the same

6) The keymap is repaired now. Call logkeys with this keymap:

sudo logkeys -s -o mylogfile.txt -m mykeymap.txt
