Well spotted - it appears to be a regexp gone wrong, sorry about that.
After further experimentation, the following combinations result in broken e
and c keys, with no warning or error messages in /var/log/XFree86.0.log:
pc10104 ukgb
pc104 ukgb
pc104 uk
Perhaps the Xserver could provide some kind of alert when an invalid
keyboard/keymap is selected; or maybe they are valid combinations and are
stale files on my computer?
The combination of pc104 and gb works fine for me.
For future reference, where is the list of acceptable keyboard varieties and
keymaps kept?
Thank you very much,
