no keyborad with xorg on Pismo/unstable
Hi, I updated and migrated from xfree86 to xorg on my unstable Pismo. But I'm not able to keep a working keyboard similar with mac layout. The generated xorg.conf contains: Section InputDevice Identifier Generic Keyboard Driver keyboard Option CoreKeyboard Option XkbRules xfree86 Option XkbModel macintosh Option XkbLayout fr_new Option XkbOptionsctrl:nocaps EndSection (fr_new comes from http://www.linux-france.org/macintosh/clavier_v4.html) All attempts I made to change this setting leads to a non working keyboad in Gnome. Currently I'm writing from Xfe where I get a keyboard working, though without any accentuated chars. I don't get the pipe neither :/ Anyone already experienced an xorg switch on an old pwb with adb kbd ? -- Jean-Christophe Michel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Etienne (CC'd) has a working french keymap for X.org I had the same problem on my spanish keyboard. Actually all keys work except the alphabetic ones, which is only about a quarter of the keys on my 108 key Apple Pro keyboard, but letters are somewhat important :-) One possible solution is that in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86, the line: $mac $macvendorlayouts = pc(pc105)+macintosh_vndr/%l%(v) should actually insert +macintosh_vndr/us(extended) before the last item. Another solution is to make the country specific files include some latin map (latin4 for Spain as done for the PC maps, I don't know for France). In macintosh_vndr/es it is explictly stated that it only describes the differences between american and spanish keyboards. And even that is wrong, it actually is a latin-american keyboard (latam for Debian, la for X.org AFAIR since la is now laotian in Debian). European spanish keyboards are completely different when it comes to punctuation and non-alphabetic symbols. This said, there are so many differences between Xorg and Debian source packages when it comes to keyboard description that I don't really know where to report these bugs.

There are differences between xkb-data (built from the source package xkeyboard-config) and xkeyboard-config upstream? If so, the bug should go to Debian, otherwise, upstream may be better, but Denis Barbier is pretty good at dealing with bug reports and forwarding them upstream as necessary anyway.
