Hi there I have made a little progress understanding why my changes do not take place. in fact, it works all right (almost) - le bm keyboard is no longer greyed out if the labels in the bm file, evdev.xml and evdev.lst are aligned I made them all "Bambara (Mali)" and "French (Mali, Bambara)"-this is better than "French (Mali, alternative)" ! and "it works" - the last thing that does not work is the dispay of layout of the keyboard : it still show the old layout sa defined the "ml" file... but it works ok as defined in the new corrected "bm" file
I'm attaching the files (zipped) that go under X11/KBD/rules (evdev.xml and evdev.lst) and X11/KBD/symbols (bm) at the minute I still have a problem with the ALTGR+, which sould produce a GRAVE ACCENT (U0060) but still gives the former definition of the key : bizarely, change takes time! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1299829 Title: keyboard for Bambara not usable : name in evdev.xml points to Malayalam.
