Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xkb-data
xkb-data 1.8-1ubuntu8 has cherry picked various commits from xkeyboard-config 1.9 in order to add support for Apple Aluminium keyboard. Only 6 commits out of 7 have been integrated in the Ubuntu version of package xkb-data. Unfortunately, the remaining commit (http://cgit.freedesktop.org /xkeyboard-config/commit/?id=dfdc578ae532d6665e6f2c84255168e31fa573e0) provides the rules that enable the correct keycodes, symbols, geometries when specifying the XKB model to be applealu_*. Consequently, the correct XKB settings for Apple Aluminium Keyboards cannot be activated. For the sake of the example: > setxkbmap -model applealu_iso -layout fr -option alupckeys -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(azerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+fr+inet(evdev)+level3(ralt_switch)+macintosh_vndr/apple(alupckeys)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; }; No specific geometry, or symbols matched. The remaining patch brings the expected behavior, i.e.: xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(azerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete+numpad(mac)" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "macintosh_vndr/apple(alukbd)+macintosh_vndr/fr+inet(evdev)+level3(ralt_switch)+macintosh_vndr/apple(alupckeys)" }; xkb_geometry { include "macintosh(applealu_iso)" }; }; ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: xkb-data 1.8-1ubuntu8 [modified: usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-22.35-generic 2.6.35.4 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 260.19.06 Mon Sep 13 04:29:19 PDT 2010 GCC version: gcc version 4.4.5 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-14ubuntu5) Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Jan 1 14:18:55 2011 Dependencies: DkmsStatus: nvidia-current, 260.19.06, 2.6.35-22-generic, x86_64: installed MachineType: System manufacturer P5K Premium PackageArchitecture: all ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=UUID=c5f5ec92-16eb-4b5f-9b64-47e64a6a8613 ro splash quiet ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: xkeyboard-config dmi.bios.date: 06/26/2007 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 0204 dmi.board.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.board.name: P5K Premium dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. dmi.board.version: Rev 1.xx dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Asset-1234567890 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: Chassis Manufacture dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr0204:bd06/26/2007:svnSystemmanufacturer:pnP5KPremium:pvrSystemVersion:rvnASUSTeKComputerINC.:rnP5KPremium:rvrRev1.xx:cvnChassisManufacture:ct3:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: P5K Premium dmi.product.version: System Version dmi.sys.vendor: System manufacturer glxinfo: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory system: distro: Ubuntu codename: maverick architecture: x86_64 kernel: 2.6.35-22-generic ** Affects: xkeyboard-config (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug maverick -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xkeyboard-config in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/696232 Title: Incomplete support for Apple Aluminium Keyboard _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
