Package: x11-xkb-utils Version: 7.4+2 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/xkbcomp Tags: upstream
I defined a partial symbols file to override an alphanumeric key and verified that it works if I place it into /usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/madduck and amended the xkb_symbols setting of the xkb_keymap like this: xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)+madduck(basic)" }; This is the file's contents: partial alphanumeric_keys xkb_symbols "basic" { key <AE03> { symbols[Group1] = [ 3, sterling ] }; }; After installing it with xkbcomp, Shift-3 produces a £. \o/ Now I would like to steer clear of writing to /usr and thus created ~/.xkb/symbols and placed the file therein. Unfortunately, xkbcomp does not seem to care: lapse:~|master|% xkbcomp -I~/.xkb ~/.xkb/map :0 Error: Can't find file "madduck" for symbols include Exiting Abandoning symbols file "(null)" Error: success in unknown Couldn't write keyboard description to :0 But: lapse:~|master|% ls -l .xkb/symbols/madduck -rw------- 1 madduck madduck 105 2009-04-17 16:07 .xkb/symbols/madduck -I~/.xkb/symbols does not work either. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages x11-xkb-utils depends on: ii cpp 4:4.3.3-2 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.9-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libice6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libsm6 2:1.1.0-2 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.2.1-1 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.5-2 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxkbfile1 1:1.0.5-1 X11 keyboard file manipulation lib ii libxmu6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii x11-common 1:7.4+1 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc x11-xkb-utils recommends no packages. x11-xkb-utils suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
