VT switching with xorg-x11-xkbdata-1.0.5 is broken. In Xorg.0.log is (WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap Also, running something like 'setxkbmap us' fails with: Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us' Couldn't find rules file (xorg) It looks like there's no /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg which is being expected by setxkbmap and probably the X server.
it looks like the package is missing the compat symlink. I think there is a configure option to turn it on.
I also lost my norwegian keyboard layout when updating to todays rawhide packages
I've also reproduced this problem with xorg-x11-xkbdata-1.0.5 - unable to switch VTs with <ALT>+<Fn> keystroke. Reverting to xorg-x11-xkbdata-1.0.4 and restarting X fixed the problem for me.
Actually from what I see xorg-x11-xkbdata-1.0.5 breaks much more than vt switching. On my machine functions keys do not work, none of shifted keys from the top row works, keys {, }, |, <, >, ? do not work, and more .... Reverting to xorg-x11-xkbdata-1.0.4, which I was still able to find on some remote server, restores sanity. Various /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/*.lst also vanished. No idea what will be affected by that.
should be fixed in tomorrow's rawhide.
Created attachment 125486 [details] Package that should fix the problem For those who don't want to wait until tomorrow, you can install this package

There are likely to be some regressions yet to find/fix though. If you encounter any problems with xkeyboard-config, please report them in bugzilla ASAP, so we can try to fix as many as possible before FC5. xkeyboard-config is the only maintained xkbdata set with an active upstream right now, so even if there are some temporary glitches, everyone benefits from the switch in the mid/long term. There are many fixes in CVS also, so I'll be cherrypicking individual fixes between now and FC5 final. Feel free to drop in #fedora-devel or #fedora-x on freenode IRC also for realtime. Also, thanks for the feedback.
