BUT for people that had upgraded, and changed their keyboard to latam, the following update leaves X without keyboard, which is cruel. Sarge->Etch upgrades are not hit by this. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hey! sorry for taking so long to respond. To be honest I've no idea, since I changed jobs and i've been lucky enough to install debian only on computers with spanish (es) keyboards, which work flawlessly.

Can you please tell which tool assumes that "la" means "latinamerican"? Denis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This change was, oddly enough, done for consistency within XKB itself; la is the ISO country code for Laos. Other tools need to be changed to reflect this. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Bug#357480: xlibs: Confusion between latam and la keyboard layouts
Package: xlibs
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4
Severity: important
For some reason the xlibs package has a "la" keyboard layout corresponding to
the "Laos" keyboard; this is different from the rest of
the system configuration which assumes "la" means "latinamerican". Thus, when
initially configuring the system and selecting "la", one
gets a latinamerican layout in text mode, but a Laos keyboard in graphical
mode, thus rendering X effectively unusable. The workaround
is to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and explicitly select the correct layout
which for some strange reason was renamed to "latam".
This behavior should be consistent between the global layout selection and that
of X; either use the "latam" layout everywhere, or
rename xlib's laos keyboard to something else and return latinamerican to "la".
