Bug#461074: xkb-data: No dead_tilde using "US Alternative international (former us_intl)" on white MacBook 13"
Package: xkb-data
Version: 1.1~cvs.20080104.1-1
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hello,
I was using the following in my $HOME/.xmodmap before I upgraded from
xkb-data 1.0~cvs.20070916-1 to 1.1~cvs.20080104.1-1 :
andrelop@white:~$ cat .xmodmap
keycode 49 = grave dead_tilde
andrelop@white:~$
The above settings would let me use my key identified by "xev" as
keycode 49 as my grave accent when they key as pressed alone and as my
dead_tilde when holding down my Shift_L key (which is identified by xev
as having keycode 50).
After the upgrade, the key cannot be used neither as grave nor as
dead_tilde. If I map it to another keycode in my $HOME/.xmodmap I can
use the key to produce the symbol this anoter keycode is supposed to
produce.
My laptop is a white 13.3" MacBook identified by dmidecode as :
andrelop@white:~$ sudo dmidecode -t 1
# dmidecode 2.9
SMBIOS 2.4 present.
Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 27 bytes
