Description Uno Engborg 2006-03-02 02:19:26 UTC

Description of problem:

After the latest upgrade my Swedish keyboard seamed to stop working.
I can no longer type normal characters like aring, auml, ouml and alt-gr
seam to have stopped working too which results in loss of characters like
tilde, pound, square brackets.... Only keys normally found on an US keyboard
seam to work.
   
I'm using a Thinkpad R50e, with configured with the following in the
following options in the InputDevice section of the xorg.conf:

Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option      "XkbLayout" "se" 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type a non US key
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Nothing typed

Please attach your X server log and config as uncompressed file attachments
using the link below.

TIA

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2006-03-06 22:02:39 UTC

Also, please try using xev, and attaching output of that, and
then use "xkbcomp :0 -xkb out.xkb" and attach out.xkb

Comment 3 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2006-03-06 22:23:33 UTC

The main question - in xev, do you see any codes which would "resemble" somehow
missing letters - or is it outputting absolute nonsense?

Comment 4 Uno Engborg 2006-03-06 22:31:06 UTC

Actually, it seam to have been fixed by some yum update lately.
My guess it was, xorg-x11-xkbdata-1.0.1-6
So, unless there are no others that still have problems with this I suggest you
close it as fixed.

But you filed the bug against xorg-x11-xkbdata-1.0.1-7, which is the current
one.  Can you clarify that -7 works?

It works.

version of Fedora Core, please file a bug report in the X.Org
bugzilla located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg"
