Package: meta-kde Followup-For: Bug #433136
Hi All, since the last update and reboot I see apparently the same problem. If and only if I have keyboard layouts enabled, the keys are messed up in KDE. Disabling them does not negate the effect immediatly but after a new login, I get a correct layout, but of course not the one I would like (us in this case, which explains any wrong x's and y's :-) ). I haven't found any printable characters that were messed up, but the arrow keys are (left is iso 3rd level shift, up is print and the others are NoSymbol if I remember correctly), similarly keypad enter and keypad '/', right alt, which is keypad enter, home which is pause, etc. Gnome complains about aomething like an unexpected keyboard layout on start, saying it got evtdev + forgot and expected pc105 + de. After some fiddling (deleting xorg.conf, which also mandated de) it said it the otherway around, with de replaced by us. I can choose to stay with that or use the gnome settings. Either way gnome freezes and stops loading. In X's log I find the following lines: expected keysym, got XF86KbdLightOnOff: line 70 of pc expected keysym, got XF86KbdBrightnessDown: line 71 of pc expected keysym, got XF86KbdBrightnessUp: line 72 of pc expected keysym, got XF86KbdLightOnOff: line 70 of pc expected keysym, got XF86KbdBrightnessDown: line 71 of pc expected keysym, got XF86KbdBrightnessUp: line 72 of pc Maybe this is completely unrelated but it happened at the same time. Independent of the keyboard layout problem within KDE, I could not switch to a vt using Ctrl-Alt-Fx any more. This problem went away when I simply moved my xorg.conf out of the way, leaving me with a constant us layout, however. As another thing that should not make a difference (famous last words I suppose) is that I extended the de layout manually in /usr/share/.../symbol/de. I checked, that the keyboard layout problems are the same, even if I configure the keyboard switcher to use a different layout and delete de from its list. Thanks in advance!
