Fixed in new xserver 1.4.99.901-4 and hal-0.5.11-0.git20080304.4.fc9. We'll load your XKB settings from /etc/sysconfig/keyboard now, which should get the layout correct. You may need to also set XKB_VARIANT in that file to get the "nodeadkeys" option. For the release note people: /etc/sysconfig/keyboard's KEYTABLE setting sets the keyboard layout for X as well now. The XKB_VARIANT and XKB_OPTIONS variables can be used to set XKB variant and option as well. you need update /usr/share/doc/initscripts-8.76.2/sysconfig.txt |
Description of problem: The Xserver is using the evdev driver even if it is configured to use the kdb driver. This leads into problems with the currently broken evdev driver. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.901-1.20080307.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Always Actual results: evdev driver is used. Expected results: kdb driver is used. Additional info: Excerpt from the xorg config file: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" EndSection Removing the evdev driver results the following errors and warnings in the Xorg.0.log, but it is working as expected using the kdb driver: (II) LoadModule: "evdev" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module evdev (II) UnloadModule: "evdev" (EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) No input driver matching `evdev' [config/hal] NewInputDeviceRequest failed (II) LoadModule: "evdev" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module evdev (II) UnloadModule: "evdev" (EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) No input driver matching `evdev' [config/hal] NewInputDeviceRequest failed (II) LoadModule: "evdev" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module evdev (II) UnloadModule: "evdev" (EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) No input driver matching `evdev' [config/hal] NewInputDeviceRequest failed (II) LoadModule: "evdev" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module evdev (II) UnloadModule: "evdev" (EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) No input driver matching `evdev' [config/hal] NewInputDeviceRequest failed
