Title:
xorg xkb options don't trigger when MatchProduct is used
Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I have a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ that attempts to set the xkb
options for a specific keyboard model.
Hence, it contains the following line:
MatchProduct "TrulyErgonomic.com Truly Ergonomic Computer Keyboard"
I know that this match triggers fine, because it activates at-home-modifier
[1] as expected, only for this keyboard. I can confirm this by commenting out
the following at-home-modifier line, which results in a lack of activation.
Option "TransMod" "36:64"
However, it seems that the xkb options are not triggering. For example this
line:
Option "XKbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch_multikey,numpad:pc,ctrl:swapcaps"
Similarly to above, I've tried removing ",ctrl:swapcaps" and
restarting, but this makes no difference. From `setxkbmap -query`, no
options are set.
Oddly enough, if I comment out the "MatchProduct" line, then this line
functions as expected, as confirmed by restarting with either
",ctrl:swapcaps" present or absent. (Obviously this then acts on all
keyboards.)
I've also tried this with similar results for:
Option "XkbLayout" "ara"
Option "XkbVariant" ""
Finally, I've also tried manually changing the settings of they integrated
keyboard. First I find the id with `xinput list`, then run
setxkbmap -device 15 -layout us -variant altgr-intl -option
lv3:ralt_switch_multikey,numpad:pc,ctrl:swapcaps
This works as expected.
In case it's important, here is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-TECK-
keymap.conf :
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "TECK"
Driver "evdev"
# If you save this file under xorg.conf.d/ :
Option "AutoServerLayout" "on"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchProduct "TrulyErgonomic.com Truly Ergonomic Computer Keyboard"
### at-home-modifier options begin here.
# The basic option.
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbVariant" "altgr-intl"
Option "XKbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch_multikey,numpad:pc,ctrl:swapcaps"
Option "TransMod" "36:64"
EndSection
I'm running Kubuntu 13.04, KDE 4.10.5, with "Configure layouts" and
"Configure keyboard options" unchecked in System Settings.
Further, I can see that the settings are being overwritten by
/etc/default/keyboard . I can change this file manually, and see that
xkb changes on restart. Is there a workaround that will allow me to
configure keyboards separately? I tried removing this file or
commenting it all out, but upon restart, xkb still ignored xorg.conf,
using some kind of hard-coded default values.
