Description Petr Machata 2009-12-09 18:29:13 UTC
Created attachment 377262 [details]
A patch to iterate all configuration keys, not just the ones that have default

Description of the problem:

My /etc/sysconfig/keyboard:
KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"
KEYTABLE="us"
MODEL="evdev"
LAYOUT="us,cz,ru"
VARIANT=",qwerty,winkeys"
OPTIONS="grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"

When I restart the HAL daemon, lshal outputs the following:
# lshal | sed -n '/input.product.*eyboard/,/input.xkb.options/p'
  input.product = 'AT Translated Set 2 keyboard'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'evdev'  (string)
  input.xkb.layout = 'us,cz,ru'  (string)
  input.xkb.model = 'evdev'  (string)
  input.xkb.options = 'terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp'  (string)
  input.product = 'Dell Dell USB Keyboard'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'evdev'  (string)
  input.xkb.layout = 'us,cz,ru'  (string)
  input.xkb.model = 'evdev'  (string)
  input.xkb.options = 'terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp'  (string)

Notice that xkb.layout gets set, but xkb.options don't (fully, anyway, the terminate option comes from 10-x11-keymap.fdi).

fedora-setup-keyboard uses the "keytable" key to determine default options.  For my value, "us", the default is (from keyboards.h):
  g_hash_table_insert(kbd_models, "us", "us pc105+inet");
... meaning defaults are layout=us, model=pc105+inet.  My setting of layout override these defaults, which is fine.  The problem is, fedora-setup-keyboard doesn't process any settings beyond these two.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fedora-setup-keyboard-0.4-3.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.  Actually I believe this was present on F 11 too.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Adjust /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
2. service haldaemon restart
3. Use lshal to see that only some settings take effect

Additional info:
The problem that I really try to solve is that when the computer wakes up from suspend, keyboard layout settings get lost.  This has been the case since upgrade to F 11, F 10 worked fine in this regard.

My earlier patch leaks a key.  This one fixes the problem.

Comment 2 Petr Machata 2009-12-09 18:37:35 UTC
lshal output with the patch applied:

# lshal | sed -n '/input.product.*eyboard/,/input.xkb.options/p'
  input.product = 'AT Translated Set 2 keyboard'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'evdev'  (string)
  input.xkb.layout = 'us,cz,ru'  (string)
  input.xkb.model = 'evdev'  (string)
  input.xkb.options = 'terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll'  (string)
  input.product = 'Dell Dell USB Keyboard'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'evdev'  (string)
  input.xkb.layout = 'us,cz,ru'  (string)
  input.xkb.model = 'evdev'  (string)
  input.xkb.options = 'terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll'  (string)
