Not necessary: I simply try to be as verbose as possible: That's why I

I did a few tests, hoping to not mess up as much as I did yesterday :)
The most important for me: I was not able to get the swapped keys (^°
and <>) back to where they should be.
Some test:
$ pwd
/home/shorty/downloads
[shorty@ 21:09:14]$ dpkg -x xkb-data_0.8-8exp1_all.deb xkb
cd /home/shorty/downloads/xkb/usr/share/X11/xkb
$ pwd
/home/shorty/downloads/xkb/usr/share/X11/xkb
And in this last dir:
*** 1:
setxkbmap -option -model macbook -layout de -variant nodeadkeys -print |
xkbcomp - :0
does not help: Console switch via <CTRL>-<ALT>-F(X) is possible, but the
swapped keys
("less than" "greater than" <> and the key with that
signs "^°") are still swapped.
SHIFT key working.
Arrow keys, right bottom side, working
*** 2:
setxkbmap -option -model macintosh -layout de -variant nodeadkeys -print |
xkbcomp - :0
breaks a lot: shift key broken: that is, no captitals
Console switch via <CTRL>-<ALT>-F(X) impossible
Arrow keys, right bottom side, not working
("less than" "greater than" <> and the key with that signs "^°")
are still swapped -- worse:
i only have half of what these keys before had, because the shift
key,s gone
getting curious:
*** 3:
setxkbmap -option -model pc105 -layout de -variant nodeadkeys -print | xkbcomp
- :0
Console switch via <CTRL>-<ALT>-F(X) possible
Arrow keys, right bottom side, working
("less than" "greater than" <> and the key with that signs "^°") are
still swapped
SHIFT key's working
In all tests: with the empty "-option" I hoped to clear all previous
xkb settings .. I hope this worked as expected.
More tests?
Best Regards
Wolfgang
