Bug#364489: xkbcomp looks for files in the wrong directory
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.0.0-4
Severity: normal
Hi,
(filing this on xbase-clients rather than xorg-xserver-core, since
according to strace, xkbcomp is the thing that actually looks at the
files)
Since the move to X11R7, I had issues with my laptop's keyboard (an
Apple PowerBook). Being lazy (and not in the vicinity of another system
to fix the laptop, should I fuck up the keyboard), I didn't check it out
until today.
My X keyboard definition looks like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
Option "XkbLayout" "wouter"
EndSection
Which should mean that X would look for a keymap with the "macintosh"
geometry, and the "wouter" layout. Indeed, with previous versions of X,
and my keymap in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh/wouter, this used to
work correctly; however, for it to work with current versions of X, it
only works if I put my modified keymap in
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/wouter, rather than in
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh_vndr/wouter, as I would expect.
