Package: xdm
Version: 3.3.6-3
Severity: normal
The 'BackSpace' key doesn't work as expected in the xdm window: it
just beeps at me. ^H works, but it's an annoyance.
Here's the Keyboard section of my XF86Config.

Hi,
this bug has been fixed upstream in XFree86 4, and is documented
in the CHANGELOG file:
426. Make the backspace key definitions for the xkb macintosh/us and
dvorak layouts consistent with the default 'us' layout (#4588,
4589, Branden Robinson).
I am closing it now, thanks for your report.
Denis
