I'm using X 3.3.36 on potato. Comparing XF86Config files between my debian
install and my linuxppc install, I found the following difference:
On debian ppc XF86Config, there is the line:
XkbKeymap "macintosh"
On linuxppc, there is no such line, instead:
XkbKeycodes "macintosh"
XbkTypes "default"
XkbCompat "default"
XkbSymbols "macintosh/us"
XkbGeometry "macintosh"
XkbRules "xfree86"
XkbModel "pc101"
Does anyone know why they are different and should I make my Debian file
look more like my linuxppc XF86Config? Perhaps I should just leave it
alone, because debian X works fine, following the linux mantra "it works, but
I don't know why"
As far as I know, there are two alternative methods for specifying the
keyboard layout with XkB. You can use
XkbRules
XkbModel
XkbVariant
XkbLayout
XkbOptions
or
XkbKeymap
XkbKeycodes
XkbTypes
XkbCompat
XkbSymbols
XkbGeometry
I don't know what happens when you specify options from both groups.
However, the second set of options is deprecated and I'm not sure that
XF 4.0.x supports them.
