Bug#481364: xkb-data: Stock keyboard layout broken
Package: xkb-data
Version: 1.2~cvs.20080501.1-1
Severity: important
The stock keyboard layout loaded with xorg.conf entry
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection
is completely broken. To get Mode_switch to work correctly
and having no problems with broken modifiers, I had to load
remove mod4 = Super_L
remove mod4 = Hyper_L
clear mod1
clear mod5
keycode 93 =
keycode 124 =
keycode 125 =
keycode 126 =
keycode 127 =
keycode 128 =
keycode 156 =
keycode 214 =
keycode 113 = Mode_switch
add mod4 = Super_L
add mod3 = Super_R
add mod1 = Alt_L
each time I start X. (.xsession does load my .Xmodmap).
Without this I had not been able to type a \ or | in an xterm.
