Hi, I've created a patch that solves the keyboard layout problem described in this bug report. Instead of just showing an indicator, the patch allows users to configure which keyboard layout should be forced when entering the password.
This completely eliminates the problem of entering passwords with the wrong layout active - xscreensaver will always use the layout you specify in the configuration, regardless of which layout was active when the screen was locked. The patch adds: - New configuration parameter: passwdKeyboardGroup (-1=disabled, 0-3=XKB group) - GUI control in xscreensaver-settings (Advanced tab) - Uses XKB API to force the specified keyboard layout Please see bug #1125988 for the full patch and details: https://bugs.debian.org/1125988 Merge request: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xscreensaver/-/merge_requests/8 I'd be grateful if anyone could test this patch and provide feedback. Best regards, Dmitry Oboukhov
