Description of Problem:
XFree86 appears to have started to use keymaps present in
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc rather than the ones in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols.
However these keymaps are broken in their handling of modifiers.

These are the old general modifier definitions:
// definition for the extra keys on 104-key "Windows95" keyboards
xkb_symbols "pc104" {
    include "us(generic101)"
    key <LALT> {        [       Alt_L,  Meta_L          ]       };
    key <RALT> {        [       Alt_R,  Meta_R          ]       };
    key <LWIN> {        [       Super_L                 ]       };
    key <RWIN> {        [       Super_R                 ]       };

    modifier_map Mod1   { Alt_L, Alt_R, Meta_L, Meta_R };
    modifier_map Mod4   { Super_L, Super_R };
};

And these are the new broken ones:
    key <LALT> {        [       Alt_L           ]       };
    key <RALT> {        [       Alt_R           ]       };
    key <LWIN> {        [       Meta_L          ]       };
    key <RWIN> {        [       Multi_key       ]       };
    modifier_map Mod1   { Alt_L, Alt_R };
    modifier_map Mod4   { Meta_L, Meta_R };

As you can see, the Windows keys have been changed from Super to Meta/Multi_key
and the Alt keys are no longer Meta keys.

This results, for example, in having to use the Windows key for Emacs key
combinations, which doesn't make sense.


A second problem is related to the Italian keyboard layout.
In that layout pressing RAlt+Shift+E is supposed to emit the eurocent symbol.
This happens if the keys are pressed in this order, but if they are pressed as
Shift+RAlt+E a beep is emitted instead.

Changing the following line:
   key <RALT>  { type[Group1]="TWO_LEVEL",
                  [ ISO_Level3_Shift, Multi_key ]   };
to this one:
   key <RALT>  { type[Group1]="TWO_LEVEL",
                  [ ISO_Level3_Shift, ISO_Level3_Shift ]   };

solves the problem (although it may introduce other ones and probably isn't the
correct way to solve this).


Both these problems weren't present before the switch to pc/


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