Description Pierre Ossman 2008-03-05 11:50:49 UTC
(this bug spawned of bug 434669)

Now that Xorg uses HAL for keyboard detection, it is vital that the information
is actually correct. Unfortunately, HAL hard codes the "us" layout in one of its
.fdi files. It needs to get a lot more clever than this.

Preferably, it checks /etc/sysconfig/keyboard.

Comment 1 Pierre Ossman 2008-03-19 16:48:02 UTC
Could someone have a look at this? It's a bit annoying to have the keyboard
layout reset to american every time there's a hal update.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 05:47:11 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Pierre,
Are you still running Fedora 9, or have you upgraded to 10 or Rawhide? In
either case, can you let us know whether the issue is still happening, and give
the current version of the HAL packages you're using?

I've upgraded, and it seems to be working with the current hal.
