Description Samuel Abreu de Paula 2006-08-07 13:00:16 UTC
Hi, im using a abnt2 keyboard in Ubuntu Dapper 6.06, when i set my xorg.conf
file as:
Option		"XkbRules"	"xorg"
Option		"XkbModel"	"abnt2"
Option		"XkbLayout"	"br"
I get my map close to OK, but some keys don't work well, ( Like / don't work at
all )

I change my /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86 add the lines in abnt2 section:

    <KPDV> = 106;
    <AB11> = 97;
    <PRSC> = 107;
    <UP>   = 111;
    <RALT> = 108;
    <LEFT> = 113;
    <RGHT> = 114;
    <BRK>  = 127;
    <DOWN> = 116;
    <RWIN> = 134;
    <INS> = 118;
    <DELE> = 119;
    <HOME> = 110;
    <END> = 115;
    <PGUP> = 112;
    <PGDN> = 117;
    <LWIN> = 133;

And then it appears working ok! But some keys like LWIN don't do the job right!


If i set XkbRules to "evdev" the keyboard works like an US keyboard.


I test in ubuntu dapper and ubuntu edgy!

I'm sorry, the other bug isn't a duplicate. It is the same problem IMHO, but the
symptoms here are different; so I'll leave this one open.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

Model must be 'evdev', not 'abnt2'.
