Package: xkb-data Version: 2.5.1-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
In the Bépo layout of /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/fr (partial alphanumeric_keys xkb_symbols "bepo"), the key <AB08> is mapped to letter "g" (keysym 0x67), with third-level mapped to greek character "µ" (keysym 0xb5). This differs from the official Bépo layout as advertised on the project website[1], where the combination <AltGr+g> produces the dead key <dead_greek> (keysym 0xfe8c), allowing to access greek letters via the corresponding latin ones. Attached is a patch to restore the intended symbol. Another possible (and probably better) fix would be to upgrade xkeyboard-config to a more recent version: <dead_greek> was introduced[2] in version 2.6, hence solving #718730 would solve this bug too. Cheers, iouri.
