Description Matt Brodeur 2002-08-28 16:11:02 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.2 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020510

Description of problem:
In the /etc/X11/XF86Config file that was "generated by anaconda" the following
lines appear:

# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#       Option  "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:nocaps"

The comment doesn't line up with the option presented.  The "nocaps" option
turns the capslock into a third CTRL key (on most US keyboards), leaving you
with no capslock.  The correct option to achieve the result in the comment is 
"ctrl:swapcaps", as such:

       Option  "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:swapcaps"


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
XFree86-4.2.0-65

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install (null) w/ XFree86
2. Search /etc/X11/XF86Config for caps/ctrl switching option
3. Find a comment/option mismatch
	

Actual Results:  Saw the "nocaps" option presented

Expected Results:  "swapcaps" option should be presented instead

Additional info:

Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2002-08-28 16:49:53 UTC
"Generated by anaconda" implies that it is potentially an anaconda
bug, not an XFree86 bug.  Reassigning.
