Title:
console-setup fails to interpret 'ISO_Level5_Shift' when configuring
with an xkb keymap
Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: console-setup
Ubuntu-release: 8.10
Package-version: 1.25ubuntu4
While playing around with a German Keyboard Layout called 'neo' using the
xkb-key-type 'EIGHT_LEVEL' I noticed that Level5 isn't invoked correctly by
solely defining 'ISO_Level5_Shift' on the desired key (also see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/49358/comments/10
).
This however is resolved by mapping 'ISO_Level5_Shift' to the real modifier
'Mod3' (works with X environment).
When running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup' to compile the layout for
the console I get these warnings:
WARNING: Unknown X keysym "ISO_Level5_Shift"
As a result Level5 isn't working in tty* (just getting the symbols of
Level1). I want to mention that it IS defined in '/usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h'
and therefore even 'xkbcomp' recognizes this keysym. Also using the hexcode
instead of 'ISO_Level5_Shift' didn't solve the problem (although there are no
warnings in console-setup).
'ISO_Level3_Shift' for Level3 is working fine.
