Package: xkb-data Version: 0.8-5 Tags: patch The current xkb-symbols files for macintosh keyboards do not allow console switching (Control + Alt + F<n>). The file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh_vndr/us only defines // Begin "Function" section key <FK01> { [ F1 ] }; key <FK02> { [ F2 ] }; ... key <FK12> { [ F12 ] };
I think, the following patch should be applied: ============================== diff -ur xkb-orig/symbols/macintosh_vndr/us xkb/symbols/macintosh_vndr/us --- xkb-orig/symbols/macintosh_vndr/us 2006-04-14 22:43:46.000000000 +0200 +++ xkb/symbols/macintosh_vndr/us 2006-06-05 21:57:19.000000000 +0200 @@ -147,6 +147,7 @@ include "compose(rwin)" include "macintosh_vndr/apple(extended)" + include "srvr_ctrl(xfree86)" // *** FIXME // key <LSGT> { [ quoteleft, asciitilde ] }; ============================== to include the definitions from /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/srvr_ctrl. But maybe the problem is more complicated, because the rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base uses different combinations of xkb-symbols for different macintosh keyboards, for example macintosh_vndr/us(extended) macintosh_vndr/us(extended)+macintosh_vndr/%l%(v) macintosh_vndr/us(extended)+%l%(v):2 macintosh_vndr/us(extended)+%l%(v) pc(pc105)+macintosh_vndr/us(extended) pc(pc105)+macintosh_vndr/%l%(v) Those which are based on pc(pc105) should already include the stuff for console switching, but I did not test this.
