Bug#571636: Keyboard not working in X after upgrade to 7.5
Hi,
I hit this too. Only after stracing X and seeing
read(11, "N:input/event1\nS:char/13:65\nE:ID_INPUT=1\nE:ID_INPUT_KEY=1\nE:XKBMODEL=pc105\nE:XKBLAYOUT=fi\nE:XKBVARIANT=fi\nE:XKBOPTIONS=\nE:DMI_VENDOR=n", 4096) = 134
I was able to guess that X gets this information from udev. This took
me 20 minutes, I'm quite sure more average users are not going to
figure this out on their own. My pre-upgrade snapshot does not show
/etc/default/keyboard -- did the upgrade copy these values from
xorg.conf to that file?
Would it be possible to add a check that'd warn about non-existent
keyboard layouts in /etc/default/keyboard? How do I get the list of
existing layouts?
