Bug#388694: xkb-data: XkbLayout says US but is actually UK keyboard

[Helen Faulkner <helen@debian.org>]

Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.8-12
Severity: normal

Hi,

I have just installed Debian sid on a new computer.  The keyboard has a US
layout (in particular, it has an @ above the 2).  I have it set to a US layout,
but it is behaving as though it has a UK layout (" above the 2).

My xorg.conf says the following:

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
   Driver          "kbd"
   Option          "CoreKeyboard"
   Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
   Option          "XkbModel"      "pc104"
   Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"
EndSection


My /var/log/Xorg.0.log has the following:

helen:~> grep -b5 -a5 XkbLayout /var/log/Xorg.0.log
38767-(**) Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
38801-(**) Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
38831-(**) Generic Keyboard: XkbRules: "xorg"
38871-(**) Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
38902-(**) Generic Keyboard: XkbModel: "pc104"
38943:(**) Option "XkbLayout" "us"
38972:(**) Generic Keyboard: XkbLayout: "us"
39011-(**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off"
39046-(**) Generic Keyboard: CustomKeycodes disabled
39093-(**) Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
39131-(**) Configured Mouse: Device: "/dev/input/mice"
39180-(**) Configured Mouse: Protocol: "ExplorerPS/2"


I don't know what's going on.

Please let me know if I can provide any more useful information.

Helen
