Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.8-6
Severity: normal
I am using an Apple USB keyboard (United Kingdom version).
With the following in xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
# Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:meta_win"
EndSection
The keyboard works, including all the alphanumeric keys, but the
punctuation is wrong. This is because although the keycodes are the
same as a standard pc105 keyboard, the engraving on the keytops is
different.
With this in xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
# Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:meta_win"
EndSection
The keyboard is quite broken. None of the alphabet keys work, and half
of the punctuation keys are broken. The numeric keys do work. Since
the keyboard is a macintosh keyboard (not ADB, though), this looks like
the correct configuration.
I saw this some time ago, but it was fixed. This behaviour appeared
again today, possibly due to the recent xkb-data upload.
I'm happy to hack on the xkb-data to fix the keyboard; I just don't
know where to start. I'm happy to do any testing; my system is
a Mac Mini G4 PowerMac.
Regards,
Roger
