Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 7.0.10
After I apt-get upgraded, my kb layout was not working. Nothing
changed in my xorg.conf (I'm using a generic pc104, "us" keyboard).
All keys were fine except for the left "windows" key. xev reported
"NoSymbol" for this key.
I had this at the tail end of my Xorg.0.log:
-----------
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Configured Mouse" (type:
MOUSE) (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Generic
Keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD)
(WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
(II) Configured Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
------------
I went ahead and did an "apt-get install xkb-data", which fixed my
problem. Now my Xorg log file says:
--------
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Configured Mouse" (type:
MOUSE) (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Generic
Keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD)
----------
and it doesn't give me an error message. Perhaps one of the xorg
packages should now depend on xkb-data ???
Now xev reports "Super_L" for the left-windows key, as it should,
instead of "NoSymbol".
