No, judging by other replies to this bug, the problem is that the X server was configured wrong in the first place. 104-key PC keyboards don't *have* a "< >" key. If you have a "< >" key, you should use "pc102" or "pc105" for your keyboard model. Just like the debconf question says. Template: xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model Type: string _Description: Please select your keyboard model. For the X server to handle your keyboard correctly, a keyboard model must be entered. Available models depend on which XKB rule set is in use. . The "pc101" keyboard is a traditional IBM PC/AT style keyboard with 101 keys, historically common in the United States. It does not have the "logo" or "menu" keys. . The "pc104" keyboard is like the pc101 model, with additional keys. These keys are usually engraved with a "logo" symbol (there is typically a pair of these, between each set of control and alt keys), and a "menu" key. . The "pc102" and "pc105" models are versions of the pc101 and pc104 keyboards, respectively, often found in Europe. . The "macintosh" model is for Macintosh keyboards where the kernel and console tools use the new input layer which uses Linux keycodes; "macintosh_old" is for Macintosh keyboard users who are not using the new input layer. . All of the above models use the "xfree86" rule set. . The "type4" and "type5" models are for Sun Type4 and Type5 keyboards, respectively. These models can only be used if the "sun" XKB rule set is in use. . Laptop keyboards often do not have as many keys as standalone models; laptop users should select the keyboard model most closely approximated by the above. . Advanced users can use any model defined by the selected XKB rule set. If the xlibs package has been unpacked, see the /etc/X11/xkb/rules directory for available rule sets. . Users of U.S. English keyboards should generally enter "pc104". -- G. Branden Robinson | Debian GNU/Linux | De minimis non curat lex. [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://people.debian.org/~branden/ |
