Notes about the Debian xkb-data package ======================================= Available models, layouts, variants, and options ------------------------------------------------ One can have a look at the following file: /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst Support of Apple keyboards -------------------------- Apple keyboards have been mostly unusable with XKB for years, and many unofficial files spread around the Internet to fix this mess. Fortunately this issue has been fixed now, thanks to testers on the debian-powerpc mailing list, and changes have been merged upstream. The following models are available: * macintosh_old For old kernels with ADB keycodes * ibook powerbook macbook78 macbook79 Laptop, 3rd and 4th levels are obtained by the small Enter key. * macintosh Default Macintosh These models look for symbols in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh_vndr, which means that the following layouts can be selected: ch de dk es fi fr gb is it latam nl no pt se us PC models can be selected, to have access to more layouts. Some options may then be added to have the same behavior as with Macintosh keyboards. Here is a (non exhaustive) list of relevant options: * lv3:lwin_switch Press left Apple-key to choose 3rd level. * lv3:enter_switch Press Enter key on keypad to choose 3rd level. * numpad:mac Numpad keys work as with Macintosh keyboards. * apple:badmap Swap keycodes of two keys when Mac keyboards are misdetected by kernel. Variants have been added to PC layouts to emulate Macintosh layouts. For instance, Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "ibook" Option "XkbLayout" "fr" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf can be replaced by Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "fr" Option "XkbVariant" "mac" Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:enter_switch,apple:badmap,numpad:mac" Denis Barbier <barbier@debian.org> Thu, 5 Oct 2006 22:51:12 +0200 Cleaning /etc/X11/xkb --------------------- Since 0.8-3, all the files in /etc/X11/xkb/ were moved to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols. If you want to clean /etc/X11/xkb/, you need to run dpkg -P xlibs. Your 'Fn' key is not working ---------------------------- On some laptops (Gateway MX6453 for instance), when X starts with numlock on, the 'Fn' key is toggled the wrong way. Just turn numlock off to get the 'Fn' key work again. Mohammed Adnène Trojette <adn+deb@diwi.org> Thu, 01 May 2008 02:36:13 +0200
