Bug#366615: xkb-data: Requires "XkbModel" to be "macintosh_vndr" rather than "macintosh" or won't accept plain english characters



Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.8-5
Severity: important
Tags: l10n


Here is an excerpt from my xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
#       Option          "XkbRules"      "xfree86"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "macintosh_vndr"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "se"
        Option          "XkbOptions"    "altwin:meta_alt"
EndSection
							
With XkbModel set to "macintosh" instead of "macintosh_vndr"
xdm would not accept plain english characters (it would only
accept numbers and non-english characters, i.e. the special
swedish characters that I cannot type in this terminal).
