Description Ivo Sarak 2002-12-29 14:51:41 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218

Description of problem:
I am using a keyboard with Estonian layout but after upgrade to Phoebe I can not
type a "|" character under KDE. Under console there it is fine ([Alt Gr]+ key
right to leftmost [shift]) , but under KDE I find no key combination to get me a
 "|".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to Phoebe;
2. Start KDE;
3. Configure keybord settings to ee (Estonian);
3. Start a konsole/konqueror/....;
 4. Type the  "|" character;

Actual Results:  '<' or nothing at all depending keybord model.

Expected Results:  "|".

Additional info:

Both console and konsole are showing:
[IS@sarmax IS]$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
[IS@sarmax IS]$ echo $SUPPORTED
en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en:et_EE.UTF-8:et_EE:et
[IS@sarmax IS]$

Also I tried to change the "Keyboard model" (I have Keytronic 800 set to
"Generic 102-key (Intl) PC"), but it made situation even worse as some models
even lost more characters.

Additionally it made no difference if to try US/FI/... with this keyboard -
there is nowhere a "|" character.

Comment 1 Than Ngo 2003-01-21 14:20:54 UTC

please set "XkbModel" to "pc105" in your XF86Config or XF86Config-4. It should
work again. It's perhaps a bug in XFree86

Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2003-01-23 02:03:58 UTC

Please report this bug to xfree86 including full details.
XFree86 4.3.0 final freeze for minor bugfixes is on February 1st, and
the people who maintain xkb should be made aware of all xkb related
bugs before then in hopes they'll get fixed before 4.3.0.  I'm currently
spending most of my time fixing video drivers, so it is highly possible
at the current state, I won't be able to personally look into this
for quite some time.

Comment 4 Ivo Sarak 2003-01-28 19:35:00 UTC

I did not yet reported the bug as update to Phoebe (8.0.93) resolved it.

Comment 5 Mike A. Harris 2003-01-28 23:25:24 UTC

Thanks for the update.

Closing as fixed in RAWHIDE
