Bug#363525: xserver-xorg-input-kbd: macintosh XkbModel is broken
Package: xserver-xorg-input-kbd
Version: 1:1.0.1.3-2
Severity: important
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
This works just fine (albeit with some key positions being wrong for an
Apple Macintosh USB keyboard), but setting
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
results in a non-functional setup. The alphabet keys do not work, and
some of the symbol keys do not work. However, all the numeric, and most
of the symbol keys do work. This did not happen with the older version
of Xorg.
This appears to affect both the "kbd" and "keyboard" drivers.
I'm happy to provide any other information, or do any testing you might
need.
Regards,
Roger
