numlock masking interference with meta compose extendchar my question is this is there a means of determining what the state of capslock and or numlock is alright ignore this i have delved a bit deeper xkeyevent and found what i was looking for ev state has a bunch of masks to check against lockmask is the one for capslock unfortunately it appears that the numlock mask varies from server to server how does one tell what mask is numlock and which are for meta mod mask mod mask mod mask mod mask mod mask eg sgi s vendor server has mod mask being numlock whereas solaris openwindows has mod mask for numlock is there an unambiguous means of determining numlock s mask at runtime for any given server sorry for the wasted bandwidth and my appalling ignorance thanks ralph
