Description Denis Barbier 2006-04-20 06:44:39 UTC

Hi,

a Debian user just reported http://bugs.debian.org/363525 to
complain that alphanumeric keys do not work with macintosh(gb)
settings.
Here are some fragments from current CVS:
 In rules/base.ml_s.part
  a. old_macintosh $macvendorlayouts =
macintosh_vndr/us(extended)+macintosh_vndr/%l%(v)
  b. $mac en_US              = pc(pc105)+macintosh_vndr/us(extended)
  c. $mac $macvendorlayouts  = pc(pc105)+macintosh_vndr/%l%(v)
 In rules/base.mlv_s.part
  d. $mac $macvendorlayouts nodeadkeys =
macintosh_vndr/us(extended)+macintosh_vndr/%l%(v)

There are 2 problems:
  * (c) does indeed not define alphanumeric keys.  It should probably be
replaced by
    $mac $macvendorlayouts =
pc(pc105)+macintosh_vndr/us(extended)+macintosh_vndr/%l%(v)
  * (d) should probably load pc(pc105) first, but in this case it can be removed
    because this case is already handled by (c).

Please note that this bugreport is different from 5227, I will try to get
feedback
from ppc users when this bugreport is fixed.

Out of curiosity - would the model "power_g5" work?

Other than this, I am generally agree with the idea to merge (c) and (d)

This bug has been fixed in CVS, closing it now.  Thanks.
