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"
|
||

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.
