The xkb/symbols/* files are not intended to be configuration files. They are intended to be system supplied. This ensures that the files get updated every time a new X release is released, and that the files reflect what was shipped with the new X release. I suggest if you are modifying these files at all, that the files must then contain a bug, and you should report that bug to X.Org directly, so that they can fix the bug directly in the official copy of the files. That gives you an additional benefit of not needing to modify the files to fix the problem in the future. You can file bug reports to X.Org at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component. Setting status to "NOTABUG" as it is intentional that these files are overwritten. Thanks, I'll file a report with X.org. Thanks, -- Einar Indridason, EinarI |
