User: ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: karmic ubuntu-patch Version: 1.6-1 Tags: patch Ubuntu has applied the attached patch which just removes the section entirely. See downstream bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/297428 and upstream bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20743 Basically, we talked to upstream about it and they said (paraphrased), "Gosh, the user shouldn't be changing those files; fix your documentation." Since the files get replaced on upgrade, and upstream doesn't think they should be touched anyway, we figured it was better not to talk about touching them at all.

to run dpkg -P xlibs.
-Customised layouts
-------------------
-
-Since 0.8-1, layouts are read from /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols and no
-more from /etc/X11/xkb/symbols. Thus, layouts are no more conffiles.
-The good way to have a custom layout is to create one's own layout that
-includes other layouts and customises some keys you want to modify.
-
-Do not modify directly files /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols.
-
-For instance, to create a French layout altering the 'a' key, create a
-/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/my_fr file containing the following lines
-(without the pipes):
-
- | partial alphanumeric_keys
- | xkb_symbols "my_fr" {
- | include "fr"
- | key <AD01> { [ a, A, oe, OE ] };
- | };
-
-To have it appear in your desktop environment layout manager, add
-"my_fr" in /etc/X11/xkb/base.xml as a new layout. For
-example, insert the following lines (without the pipes):
-
- | <layout>
- | <configItem>
- | <name>my_fr</name>
- | <shortDescription>MyFr</shortDescription>
- | <description>French (customized)</description>
- | </configItem>
- | <variantList/>
- | </layout>
-
-/etc/X11/xkb/base.xml is a configuration file.
