Bug#234113: xlibs: slightly similar case
Message-ID: <1BBn3u-0XV-00@tempest>
Package: xlibs
Version: 4.3.0-7
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #234113
I have a similar problem , maybe witha asimilar workaround. from the following
log you'll see I have a btc9000 keyboard and that the default layout is us. but
using kde I also switch to us_intl or even es (which is the real layout). this
is using kxkb, which reads xkb's definitions to presen to the user and
setxkbmap to change on user request.
since x4.3. got in sid I couldn't switch to us_intl anymore. I get this:
mdione@tempest:~/src/system/kde3$ setxkbmap -v us_intl
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: xfree86+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc/pc(pc105)+pc/us_intl+inet(btc9000)
geometry: pc(pc104)
Error loading new keyboard description
I realize that /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/us_intl does not exist, but
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/us_intl does. using a pc(105) layout works fine. I think
there's some common factors here (i.e., looking into the pc directory).
