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
