Description of problem: On my MacBookAir6,2, the backtick / tilde key on the keyboard produces < and > symbols instead of the expected ` and ~ symbols. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.11.6-200.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Completely reproducible. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press backtick / tilde key. Actual results: < and > symbols are produced. Expected results: ` and ~ symbols. Additional info: My keyboard layout is default for US. This problem is present at the console also, so it's not an Xorg issue. However, here's the xev output for reference: KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001, root 0x9f, subw 0x0, time 17299565, (869,408), root:(870,499), state 0x0, keycode 94 (keysym 0x3c, less), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3c) "<" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3c) "<" XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001, root 0x9f, subw 0x0, time 17299637, (869,408), root:(870,499), state 0x0, keycode 94 (keysym 0x3c, less), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3c) "<" XFilterEvent returns: False You'll notice that the keycode is given as 94. Based on my comparisons with other systems, the keycode SHOULD be 49. I can work around this with xmodmap; however, this does not allow me to type any backtick or tilde characters at the console or at the user login screen. Please let me know if I can provide any other information.
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 19 kernel bugs. Fedora 19 has now been rebased to 3.12.6-200.fc19. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you have moved on to Fedora 20, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 20. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
Fedora 20 still exhibits this bug on MacBookAir6,2. According to an upstream bug report, the ANSI/ISO detection of the keyboard is incorrect. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60181#c43 My current workaround is to place this in rc.local: echo 0 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/iso_layout That fixes the problem.
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** This bug has been in a needinfo state for several weeks and is being closed with insufficient data due to inactivity. If this is still an issue with Fedora 20, please feel free to reopen the bug and provide the additional information requested.
can we please reopen this bug? the bug hasn't been resolved.
This bug is being closed with INSUFFICIENT_DATA as there has not been a response in over 3 weeks. If you are still experiencing this issue, please reopen and attach the relevant data from the latest kernel you are running and any data that might have been requested previously.
You can keep closing this bug for "insufficient data", but comment #2 provides that data as well as a workaround.
