Bug#179390: Keyboard input with a type5 keyboard is b0rked.



package: xfree86
version: 4.2.1-5
severity: grave

 X is now unusable on my Ultra 5 running unstable.  It seems that the
keymap is messed up.  I can use the console as normal.  However, when
I try to use X my keys are shifted to the right by a key for the first
two letter rows and I don't know what happened to the rest.  I didn't 
notice before because I hadn't restarted X in a while.  My XF86Config-4
hasn't changed since october.
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      3049 2002-02-10 11:04 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

And the following InputDevice section of XF86Config-4 was working fine
until I logged out and X got restarted on me.

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "sun"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "type5"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"
EndSection
