Bug#515152: xserver-xorg: xkb no longer works

[Michal Suchanek <hramrach@centrum.cz>]

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.4~5
Severity: normal


Hello

I use this simple script to set up keyboard as I could not find a tool
that would do that for me:

setxkbmap -v 10 -layout us,cz_qwerty -model pc105 -option ""
setxkbmap -v 10 -layout us,cz_qwerty -model pc105 -option
ctrl:nocaps,altwin:meta_win,group:shifts_toggle,level3:menu_switch,numpad:microsoft,grp_led:scroll,grp:shifts_toggle

I could undrstand that soem more exotic option might get dropped but
even the first command fails:

Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard model
         Using command line, ignoring X server
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout
         Using command line, ignoring X server
Applied rules from evdev:
model:      pc105
layout:     us,cz_qwerty
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes:   evdev+aliases(qwerty)
types:      complete
compat:     complete
symbols:    pc+us+cz_qwerty:2+inet(evdev)
geometry:   pc(pc105)
Error loading new keyboard description
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C

So xkb is either broken it it works differently again which is as good
as broken.

Thanks

Michal
