Did you try to put the same kind of parameter as xorg.conf into /etc/default/keyboard? It should be working exactly the same as xorg.conf (except that it'll additionally work on the linux console too!) > And it looks like a specific Japanese keyboard problem.

Well, the thing is that supported layouts (i.e. that you can choose in the debconf dialog box) only include one keymap, or us + non-latin keymap.

The jp106 model was dropped indeed, because its additional keys were added to the base model. > When I try printing the keyboard, from > Gnome Keyboard Preferences, the output does not show it right (many > "extra" keys are not shown). That's the geometry part of the xkb configuration, not the model part (though they are related, yes). I think you should talk with upstream about it (e.g. report the bug on http://bugs.freedesktop.org/) Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
