Description

it looks like the package is missing the compat symlink. I think there is a configure option to turn it on. I also lost my norwegian keyboard layout when updating to todays rawhide packages I've also reproduced this problem with xorg-x11-xkbdata-1.0.5 - unable to switch VTs with <ALT>+<Fn> keystroke. Reverting to xorg-x11-xkbdata-1.0.4 and restarting X fixed the problem for me. Actually from what I see xorg-x11-xkbdata-1.0.5 breaks much more than vt
switching. On my machine functions keys do not work, none of shifted keys
from the top row works, keys {, }, |, <, >, ? do not work, and more ....
Reverting to xorg-x11-xkbdata-1.0.4, which I was still able to find on
some remote server, restores sanity.
Various /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/*.lst also vanished. No idea what will be
affected by that.
should be fixed in tomorrow's rawhide. Created attachment 125486 [details]
Package that should fix the problem
For those who don't want to wait until tomorrow, you can install this package

[SNIP] > Various /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/*.lst also vanished. No idea what will be > affected by that. Yep, at least some of that should be fixed in the latest package now. There are likely to be some regressions yet to find/fix though. If you encounter any problems with xkeyboard-config, please report them in bugzilla ASAP, so we can try to fix as many as possible before FC5. xkeyboard-config is the only maintained xkbdata set with an active upstream right now, so even if there are some temporary glitches, everyone benefits from the switch in the mid/long term. There are many fixes in CVS also, so I'll be cherrypicking individual fixes between now and FC5 final. Feel free to drop in #fedora-devel or #fedora-x on freenode IRC also for realtime. Also, thanks for the feedback. *** Bug 183608 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
