Does Debian put the 'kbd' file in /etc/X11? Is it even needed under Debian or is some other mechanism used to do keyboard mapping? If it turns out that I need the file, what package contains it?
I have been informed that I need this file to solve an application problem (described below) but before I research their prescribed fix, I want to make sure that Deb doesn't add some additional configuration indirection that will render the fix inaffectual, or, worse, mess up the Debian configuration for future upgrades. I use Blender on two Woody workstations and have noticed that the numeric keypad controls work correctly on one system and not at all on the other. The primary difference between the two systems is one was originally a Potato and the other has been a Woody all its life. The one that works is the Woody-since-birth machine. The Blender FAQ's tell me to check for a file called 'kbd' in /etc/X11 . It's not there on the broken machine. I will check for it's presence on the working machine once I get home tonight but I'd really like to get this machine working today. The Blender FAQ suggests that I re-install all the files in /etc/X11 and re-configure XFree86 but I'm not willing to perform that kind of radical surgery unless it is absolutely necessary.
