Hi everyone! I'm new to the list, but it looks very interesting already! I was wondering if this was the right place to talk about xkb?
I have an issue with xkb and i was hoping someone here might be able to give me some pointers. i have created a new keyboard layout with xkb and now i need to add new types, i.e. how modifier keys behave. The symbols file, types file and compat file seem to be well formed, but the types have no effect, and when i check with setxkbmap and xkbcomp, the types are not listed. I'm not sure how to edit the xml files in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules so that xkb knows how to find the new types. How should i proceed? Debugging output can be found here: http://lpaste.net/5576643678098685952 the source is here: https://bitbucket.org/cheater/us_split_cherry_kw6000_two_iso/src/ This is under Ubuntu; as I understand Ubuntu and some other distros use rules/evdev.xml, whereas some other distros use an older system which is also based off files in rules/. The base contains an easy to use installer and it could be a base for other people's layouts. It integrates with the UI. I would appreciate any pointers, as I've probably read anything there is online about xkb starting the last weekend, and am pretty much stuck...
