Updating to xkeyboard-config 2.17-1 on Arch Linux broke the de(neo) layout for me. Downgrading back to 2.16 fixes the issues. The keyboard is constantly on level 5 and the num lock LED is on. The level 5 modifier keys (e.g. [Alt Gr]) still toggle the level in some x11 apps (in chromium only the right hand side). Since the num lock LED behavior changed i guess the changes from this report are involved: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93763 My understanding from this is, that level 5 is locked and num lock should unlock it, but all it does is giving me the symbol '≠'. The activation of level 5 stays unchanged. At session start X11 is logging the following: (II) config/udev: Adding input device daskeyboard (/dev/input/event2) (**) daskeyboard: Applying InputClass "evdev keyboard catchall" (**) daskeyboard: Applying InputClass "system-keyboard" (II) systemd-logind: got fd for /dev/input/event2 13:66 fd 34 paused 0 (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'daskeyboard' (**) daskeyboard: always reports core events (**) evdev: daskeyboard: Device: "/dev/input/event2" (--) evdev: daskeyboard: Vendor 0x4d9 Product 0x2013 (--) evdev: daskeyboard: Found keys (II) evdev: daskeyboard: Configuring as keyboard (**) Option "config_info" "udev:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.5/1-1.5:1.0/0003:04D9:2013.0004/input/input4/event2" (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "daskeyboard" (type: KEYBOARD, id 10) (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev" (**) Option "xkb_model" "pc105" (**) Option "xkb_layout" "de" (**) Option "xkb_variant" "neo" The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Warning: Multiple interpretations of "Caps_Lock+AnyOfOrNone(all)" > Using last definition for duplicate fields > Warning: Multiple interpretations of "Shift_L+AnyOfOrNone(all)" > Using last definition for duplicate fields > Error: Key <HYPR> added to map for multiple modifiers > Using Mod2, ignoring Mod4. > Error: Key <MDSW> added to map for multiple modifiers > Using Mod3, ignoring Mod5.

> My understanding from this is, that level 5 is locked and num lock should unlock it, but all it does is giving me the symbol '≠'. The activation of level 5 stays unchanged. Neo has no Num Lock. To unlock the level 5 lock, either press Shift+Mod3+Tab (Mod3 is # or CapsLock on German keyboards), or Mod4+Mod4 (< and AltGr). Does thin allow you to unlock the level 5 lock?
I actually meant just the commonly "Num Lock" labelled key, not it's function. ;-) But yes, these combinations worked fine. I did not know there is a lvl 5 lock at all and was a bit surprised about it suddenly being activated on boot in x11 (not the VC) after the update. Thanks! I'm sorry about the hassle and close it as invalid.
