Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.8-6
Followup-For: Bug #366615
If you set the XkbModel to "macintosh_vndr", it doesn't actually set it
to that - it drops back to "pc105". You can see this behaviour with
setxkbmap:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ setxkbmap -rules xorg -model macintosh_vndr -layout gb
-print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc(pc105)+gb+altwin(meta_win)+compose(rwin)"
};
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
};
Versus:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ setxkbmap -rules xorg -model macintosh -layout gb -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "macintosh+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include
"pc(pc105)+macintosh_vndr/gb+altwin(meta_win)+compose(rwin)" };
xkb_geometry { include "macintosh(macintosh)" };
};
The aforementioned problem of setting the model to 'macintosh' also
manifests itself with the 'gb' layout.
If I run:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ setxkbmap -rules xorg -model macintosh -layout gb
I lose all of the letters - numbers work, some symbols work, but letters are
gone (and I have to scrabble through a few terminals to find a 'u' and
's' to paste by mouse into the command history to get the keyboard back!).
