Bug#397915: xserver-xorg -english keyboard missing pipe symbol

[Mgr. Peter Tuharsky]

This bug takes place only in the case, that the keyboard switching is 
done in xorg.conf by the lines:


Option  "XkbVariant""qwerty"
Option  "XkbLayout" "us,sk"
Option  "XkbOptions"grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"


If I don't use X-level keyboard switching, let only us XkbLayout, and 
use GNOME keyboard switching instead, it works fine -the US keyboard 
does have functional pipe key.

It is quite strange. On the next (another) restart of X, the pipe starts 
functioning for english keyboard, however the keyboard variant qwerty is 
not respected. The sk keyboard acts like qwertz.

Bug#397915: xserver-xorg -english keyboard missing pipe symbol

[Mgr. Peter Tuharsky]

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.1.0-5

I have upgraded my Etch yesterday. Since then, I cannot access the pipes
symbol. When I press the backslash resp. pipes key, I always get the ň
or ) (depending on Shift pressed). This was alright for localised SK
keyboard, however is not alright for US keyboard.

Happens both under GNOME and IceWM. Never met this behaviour before.
Looks like keyboard map is broken since the last upgrade.
