  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  Hi,
  
  after doing a clean install of Karmic on my new laptop, I noticed a very
  annoying bug - all my Xkb settings are ignored. I normally use "us"
  keymap as my primary, and "cz" with "qwerty" variant as secondary and
  use both "shift" keys to switch between them. I tried using both
  /etc/default/console-setup:
  
  XKBMODEL="evdev"
  XKBLAYOUT="us,cz"
  XKBVARIANT=",qwerty"
  XKBOPTIONS="grp:shift_toggle"
  
  and XML file with appropriate keys in /etc/hal/fdi/policy (that worked
  in Jaunty):
  
  <match key="info.capabilites" contains="input.keys">
        <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbRules" type="string">base</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">kbd</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbModel" type="string">pc105</merge>
        <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
               string="Linux">
          <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
          <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbModel" type="string">evdev</merge>
        </match>
  
        <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">us,cz</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions" type="string">grp:shift_toggle</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbVariant" type="string">,qwerty</merge>
      </match>
  
  n get this behaviour if I use for example xfce4-xkb-plugin, getting it
  to work with "plain X11" (for example in OpenBox sessions) seems to be
  impossible.
  
  I'm reasonably sure this isn't wrong configuration on my part, because when booting to a console session and then doing "startx", everything works as it should. If I however use a graphic login (GDM), they keyboard settings are busted - starting with the login screen (can't change keymap when entering my username). The keyboard settings get passed to X.org (they're shown in the xorg log), but ignored - doing "setxkbmap -print" results in:
  dragon@yarlagash:~$ setxkbmap -print
   xkb_keymap {
   	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)"	};
   	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
   	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
   	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)"	};
   	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"	};
   };
  
  After setting it manualy with "setxkbmap -layout "us,cz" -variant
  ",qwerty" -option "grp:shift_toggle", it all works like I charm.
  
  I guess I coud work around this by calling setxkbmap at start of every
  session, but it doesn't sound like a "kosher" solution. I triggered this
  bug with both Ubuntu and Xubuntu, however I'm not sure if it didn't
  start manifesting only after "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" in Ubuntu
  - I did a clean install afterwards to make sure this isn't a side-effect
  of the conversion.
  
  I checked that this is not a ThinkPad-oddity bug by installing Slackware
  13 on the same machine - it works there just fine (KDM as a login
  manager there).
