Package: keyboard-configuration
Version: 1.180
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
When installing Debian on the Nokia N900, the keyboard-configuration
package does not automatically configure the built-in keyboard in
/etc/default/keyboard. The xkb-data package already provides XKB
configuration data for this device under the XKB model "nokiarx51".
Please find attached a patch for the keyboard-configuration config
script which will detect the Nokia N900 hardware and set XKBMODEL to
"nokiarx51".
I have tested this on the Nokia N900 itself and also on one other ARM
device to ensure that it falls back and configures the default XKBMODEL
as expected.
I would appreciate your comments.
Kind regards,
David
