Description of problem: xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.13 deleted useful stuff from my xorg.conf I have a SUN type6 USB keyboard, I have Option "XkbRules" "sun" in xorg.conf so that everything works OK with the keyboard (i.e. Meta is Meta, Alt is Alt, etc) After doing a yum update an restarting X today I dicovered that the Alt and Meta keys were not working properly. The cause was that the XkbRules line was removed from my xorg.conf by the upgrade, it seems that this pre-install script is the cause: # Remove any Options "XkbRules" lines that may be present perl -p -i -e 's/^.*Option.*"XkbRules".*\n$//gi' $configfile Please don't remove useful configuration without any warning. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.13 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This problem was recently fixed in rawhide by limiting the scope of what gets removed to "(xfree86|xorg)" in the scriptlet. It will be in all future FC devel builds, as well as any future FC3 or RHEL4 erratum we might release.
