Title:
Keyboard Layouts are not picked up from evdev.extras.xml
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
In /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules there is the following XML Files
base.xml
base.extras.xml
evdev.xml
evdev.extras.xml
plus some symbolic links.
evdev & base are pretty much the same, and Gnome-control-center uses
evdev files.
evdev.extras.xml has information on extra language/keyboard layouts,
including APL, Franch Canadian, Dvorak layouts, and so on. and these
are not picked up by the keyboard layout in gnome-control-center.
I copied the layout information from evdev.extras.xml and gnome-
control-center picked these up, however after updates (to xkb) these
files are reverted and the options are no longer available.
gnome-control-center should look in both evdev.xml and
evdev.extras.xml for these options
