[Bug 120788] Re: (needs x11 protocol update) XKB cannot map multiple keyboard models
** Description changed: The X.org XKB protocol has a limitation in that it can map only one keyboard model and a max of 4 layouts (bug #56912) in a given X session. The data type used to communicate keyboard mappings between the server and client apps simply doesn't provide room for the data needed for multiple keyboards. So a proper solution requires updating the X11 protocol to X12 (or at least X11.1), which is something that must be done upstream (further, there is risk that changing the protocol could cause widespread breakage in client applications if not done carefully.) So, in other words, this is not something that can be trivially fixed, but it's a known issue and will hopefully be dealt with some day. [Original Report] The gnome-keyboard-properties dialog allows me to define only 1 keyboard model; instead the model ought to be specific to each layout. I have an English keyboard (Logitech Internet Navigator Keyboard with 105 keys) and also a French one (AZERTY with 104 keys). I cannot properly define the French one because I cannot select an appropriate keyboard model for it without disrupting the definition of the English keyboard. I can only define a single model system-wide. + + [lspci] + 00:00.0 Memory controller [0580]: nVidia Corporation CK804 Memory Controller [10de:005e] (rev a3) + Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
