Description of problem: There isn't any keyboard layout that fit to my Brazilian(pt-BR) Thinkpad R61. Using the included options, some keys doesn't work (like "/" and "?"). Additional info: In another GNU/Linux distribution, like Debian Lenny, my keyboard works right with the follow configurations on xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "thinkpad" Option "XkbLayout" "br" Option "XkbVariant" "abnt2" EndSection
Actually, we should have all the parts from your Debian configuration present in Fedora. Could you try to run X without xorg.conf and then try to make your keyboard working just with Gnome tools (gnome-keyboard-properties). If you can make it working could you post here output of setxkbmap -print, please? Also, just to see what Fedora thinks about your keyboard, could we get /var/log/Xorg.0.log, /var/log/dmesg, and (if you have any) /etc/X11/xorg.conf attached to this bug as separate uncompressed attachments, please? We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

Comment on attachment 347474 [details] Output of command "setxkbmap -print". With this layout, the most of keys works fine. But I still cannot use "question mark", "slash (not \)", "some regional accents", etc. This output is from Fedora 11 (I've tried the same configuration at RHEL 5.3).

Some additional informations was added to bug report, as required by Matej Cepl.
(In reply to comment #4) > The log file of Xorg, on Fedora 11. OK, switching the bug to Fedora 11 product.
I don't have an abnt2 keyboard here, so I can't test directly. this command should give you the right layout. setxkbmap -layout br -model abnt2 should set everything correctly. If this works for you, please go to the keyboard configuration option and click on the keyboard model button - the right model is in Generic - Brazilian ABNT2. Did this work for you?
Hi, Both ways didn't work for me. I'm sending a photo of my keyboard layout. Thanks.

can you please attach the output of "xkbcomp -xkb :0 -" from the debian box where everything works? Thanks.
(In reply to comment #11) > can you please attach the output of "xkbcomp -xkb :0 -" from the debian box > where everything works? Thanks. Sorry but I'm not using Debian anymore... I'm using (trying at least) Fedora 11. But I had already put all of my Debian's configurations here.
Everything worked fine again when I set the model "IBM ThinkPad 560Z/600/600E/A22E" and layout "Brazil" but my model should be "IBM Thinkpad R60/T60/R61/T61".
Same problem on T61, and worked with "IBM ThinkPad 560Z/600/600E/A22E"
can you please verify the following: setxkbmap -model "evdev" -layout "br" ... broken setxkbmap -model "thinkpad" -layout "br" ... working setxkbmap -model "thinkpad60" -layout "br" .. broken the last two should be the same, but they seem to be broken if the t61 model doesn't work but the 560Z do.
This is ok ! setxkbmap -model "evdev" -layout "br" ... broken setxkbmap -model "thinkpad" -layout "br" ... working setxkbmap -model "thinkpad60" -layout "br" .. broken Thanks.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
is this still an issue with F12 or F13?
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
