Bug#105579: project: Latest testing XWindows setup doesn't map backspace key right
Package: project
Version: 20010717
Severity: important
Using the testing or unstable release XWindows maps the backspace key
to delete. I have tried rerunning xf86config to no effect. I have also
tried different keyboard setups including standard 101 key and the
"build your own" 101 key. startx gives me the following output:

The relevent section in the XF86Config file is:
Section "Keyboard"
Protocol "Standard"
# when using XQUEUE, comment out the above line, and uncomment the
# following line
# Protocol "Xqueue"
AutoRepeat 500 30
# Let the server do the NumLock processing. This should only be required
# when using pre-R6 clients
# ServerNumLock
# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Xleds 1 2 3
# To set the LeftAlt to Meta, RightAlt key to ModeShift,
# RightCtl key to Compose, and ScrollLock key to ModeLock:
# LeftAlt Meta
# RightAlt ModeShift
# RightCtl Compose
# ScrollLock ModeLock
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# XkbDisable
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# XkbModel "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# XkbModel "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# XkbLayout "de"
# or:
# XkbLayout "de"
# XkbVariant "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# XkbOptions "ctrl:swapcaps"
# These are the default XKB settings for XFree86
# XkbRules "xfree86"
# XkbModel "pc101"
# XkbLayout "us"
# XkbVariant ""
# XkbOptions ""
Xkbkeycodes "xfree86"
XkbTypes "default"
XkbCompat "default"
XkbSymbols "us(pc102)"
