Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer
test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug
reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if
you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest
development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience.

[This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding
myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this
and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]


Comment 2 William Murray 2007-04-06 21:04:40 UTC
This is still here, on 2 UK keyboard systems. I log in to 'gnome and X disagree
on keyboard type'
    Maybe I just don't understand the interrelation betweeen them, but it is
VERY annoyimg. Often I end up with the wrong keyboard.
     What detailed info should I post please?
       Bill

My X config file has this section (for a us keyboard, obviously):

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

What do you have in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

Comment 4 William Murray 2007-04-07 10:53:21 UTC
xorg.conf has a section:
   Section "InputDevice"

    # generated from data in "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "gb"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
EndSection

While in "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard" I have:
KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"
KEYTABLE="uk"

  Ah...is it UK & GB getting mixed up?

Comment 5 Matthew Miller 2007-04-07 12:12:15 UTC
Sounds likely. Not sure how that happened, but try changing them to match?
