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).
