There is indeed an old bugreport upstream
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1576
which contains a patch. Can you please test the attached
patch? The "es" layout is renamed into "latam" and keys 1
and 2 are modified, and a new "es" layout is created for
Spain.

[D-I] Switching initrd filesystem (was: mass kernel udeb update and preparations for RC1)

Maybe I was not clear enough on this. The original text was: * type of initrd used Some arches have already switched to using initramfs for d-i initrds, other arches are still using cramfs or ext2. Please check if a change could/should be made for your architecture. The default is: config/common:59:INITRD_FS = ext2 $ wcgrep INITRD_FS config/hppa This means that all hppa d-i initrds currently use the default ext2 filesystem. The question was: should hppa be switched to using initramfs instead of ext2 for Debian Installer images? Whether this is possible depends amongst others on what the bootloaders used for different installation methods support. Note that using intramfs has some advantages as can be seen from these changelog entries from Joey for i386/amd64: * Remove root=/dev/ram from syslinux configs, turns out not to be needed for the kernel to find initramfs. * Remove ramdisk_size= and "rw" settings, also not needed. The same goes for other architectures: alpha: uses default ext2 arm/armeb: most subarches use cramfs ia64: uses cramfs m68k: uses default ext2 mips: uses cramfs mipsel: uses cramfs (except bcm947xx/netboot/firmware.cfg: jffs2) sparc: uses default ext2 i386, amd64, powerpc and s/390 already use initramfs as default. pgpNGBut0ZZHm.pgp Description: PGP signature

2) package console-data
I use mac-fr-ext (/usr/share/keymaps/mac/mac-fr-ext.kmap.gz) from
package console-data, which enables me to switch to X by ctrl + Apple
+ F7 and to write special characters using alt/option key in a
console.
With the xkb-data's default setting, I switch to console by ctrl +
alt/option + Fx, and write special characters with Apple or KP_Enter
key.
I have no preference among these two default settings.
Best regards,
Bin
and will reach mirrors in almost a day.
This version is very similar to 0.8-12exp4, I believe
that it is pretty solid, but needs more polishing.
We can discuss to change default settings and broken
layouts, but keep in mind that since most layouts
were unusable, people now have different habits and
we cannot make everybody happy with default settings.
Please, test it, send feedback if something does not
work or can be improved, write documentation for other
powerpc users that could be included in xkb-data, etc.
Thanks for your help.

I took it from your directory, as even ftp.debian.org does not have it
(yet).

Well, no change for me, except that it does not crash X anymore :-))
So the following still needs to be done for a german ibook keyboard:
1. When pressing the key between ß? and backspace, I still get
nothing, while I expect ' as printed on the key. With the shift
modifier it works. This is keycode 21.
2. The AltGr-Bracket sequence is still "wrong", i.e. I would like the
PC style version, i.e. (starting at AltGR-7) {[]}\ while I get
(starting at AltGr-5) []|{}}\. This behaviour should be switchable.
Also I still wonder why "}" is on AltGr-9 *and* AltGr-0.
3. AltGr-Q still produces "«" and not "@"
I am happy that you kept AltGr-Y and AltGr-X as "«" and "»".
Also several characters are on several positions, e.g. `, ~, |, «, ß,
}. As of now, I don't see this as a problem, but maybe a general
consensus should be found regarding the AltGr-mapping.

Please let me know if you need more/other feedback.

Thanks for your efforts cleaning this up.

No, everything included DRI went fine. But hey, on i386 I am running a r200 (RV250) with UseFBDev and no problems. THX for t he hint, I'll close the bug when it is in the BTS.
