Description Peter Hutterer 2009-05-21 16:50:46 UTC

setxkbmap -device allows a per-device layout but that's a bit iffy right now.

Test-case with two keyboards, device IDs 10 and 20, both on default "us" layout:

1. type on keyboard 10
2. setxkbmap -layout de -device 10
3. type on keyboard 10, layout on 10 is still "us"
4. type on keyboard 20, layout on 20 is "us"
5. type on keyboard 10, layout is now "de", keyboard 20 is "us", all correct now

Affects master and 1.6. I guess it's because we don't send the mapping notify for the VCK until the lastSlave changes, and the one we send in response to the XkbGetKbdByName request is a per-device request, not XkbCoreKeyboard.
