Could you please have a look at the current xkeyboard-config code - and prepare
the patch, if it is still necessary? Thanks

by current you mean xorg-x11-7.0 and by xkeyboard-config code, you mean the
source of a program with that name, or just the configs?

btw, most kernels usb-core.c needs to be patches against an hardware manufacture
provided patch, to make really all keys work. i have yet to figure out, how to
do that correctly and this is porbably something i should send to the
kernel-dev-list.

I mean separate XKB data repository hosted on freedesktop.org. Which in future
will be merged into xorg. http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fXKeyboardConfig

I'd say so...

Sergey

sorry, that i haven't answered for so long, but i didn't want xorg-x11 7.0
install before it went life on my distro. now that this has happend, i've
encountered, that there is in fact a "cymotionlinux" xkbmodel, which is mostly
working.

is it any use to you, if i tell you which keys do not work at all and which are
assigned the wrong maps?

Well, if you just send me a patch...;)

is that ok? the only "problem" left ist, a key on the keyboard, that isn't
recognized at all. it's a "K" key, left of the "Tux" key and right of the
LCONTROL key. this might be a kernel issue, but i don't really know.

Committed (with some effort, because the patch was not for xkeyboard-config).
Could you please check xkeyboard-config CVS whether it is ok now.

well actually, there are two entries missing. it would be also easier to compare
the differences, if the entries wouldn't be sorted by the keymaps but the names.

You've deleted the entries:

     key <ALT> {       [       XF86ScrollUp            ]       };
     key <AE13>        {       [       Redo                    ]       };

but they should instead only be altered, to read:

     key <K75> {       [       XF86ScrollUp            ]       };
     key <I0A> {       [       Redo                    ]       };

Thanks, fixed.

i made another mistake. please correct. the patch is against the latest cvs of
xkbdesc
