Hash: SHA1
Package: xlibs
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: sid
The new upgrade of xlibs completely remove all references to
ralt_switch_multikey what is the only way to type in combined characters
and also all german chars.
This stops my users from logging in over xdm or kdm as there are many
characters in there password not available anymore.
This breaks the package heavily. There is no alternative for the
settings below.
For your information, here is the relevant sniplet in my xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "cherrybluec"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch_multikey"
Option "XkbSymbols"
"pc/pc(pc105)+pc/de(nodeadkeys)+level3(ralt_switch_multikey)+inet(cherrybluec)"
EndSection
So please, if you break the default behavior of X to use shift-ralt as
multikey then just allow the sysadmin to fix this bug by config!!!
