Fix error for activating Indic maps none

Description Parag Nemade 2010-09-17 05:09:11 UTC
Description of problem:
I think there is some problem with xkeyboar-config-1.9-1.fc14 package. When I installed previous version build 1.8.1-6.fc13, its working fine.

While adding few xkb maps from India say Hindi Wx, Hindi Bolnagari, I got following error message
======================================================================
Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
 • a bug in libxklavier library
 • a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
 • X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation

X server version data:
Fedora Project
10900000

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
 • The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
 • The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
==========================================================================

Here is output for "xprop -root | grep XKB"

_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105+inet", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105+inet", "us", "", "grp:shift_caps_toggle"

Here is output for "gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd"

 layouts = [us,in	bolnagri]
 options = [grp	grp:shift_caps_toggle]
 model = 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xkeyboard-config-1.9-1.fc14.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select India as country while adding new keymap
2. Try to add Hindi Bolnagri map
3. Observe error message after you clicked on "Add" button
  
Actual results:
Unable to use or select maps in panel

Expected results:
Should add maps without error message and able to change and use them

For now adding F14Target.

Comment 2 Parag Nemade 2010-10-03 10:12:49 UTC
Upstream has already fixed this in upstream commit

Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2010-10-04 01:38:04 UTC
I believe this affects any layout that includes symbols/nbsp (non-break space).

Comment 4 Parag Nemade 2010-10-04 06:30:25 UTC
Created attachment 451345 [details]
