Version: 1:2.18.1-1+b1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/gnome-keyboard-properties

Hi,

on a PowerBook3,2 with japanese keyboard, the backslash/underscore key
does not work. Its keycode is 211. It seems that one can not use
setxkbmap to fix this, and that it is not possible to disable GNOME
management of the keyboard. Would it be easy to assign backslash and
underscore to keycode 211 in GNOME ?

Have a nice day,

Hi Charles,

first of all, xkb-data does not touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf. So this bug
does not belong to it.

Secondly, xserver-xorg no more adds this line to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Thus, closing the bug.
