To fix it, please tag libX11-1.1.3-3.git20071123.olpc2 from koji. It's been in joyride for a while and it contains the missing keysym.

On a B4 at build 691 with an arabic (Libyan?) keyboard fn-space does not work. At the same build it works on a MP machine with English keyboard.

  • cc mstone, cscott, kimquirk, gregorio added
  • keywords blocks?:8.2.0 added
  • next_action set to never set

This still happens in 8.2-759 on an arabic-keyboard B4, meaning view-source is broken with at least some keyboard layouts.

  • status changed from new to assigned

Looks like anything that KP_XF86Start is not generated when more than two layouts are enabled. While the reason for this is not clear to me, for the time being, we can have a workaround where group(olpc) contains the appropriate mapping.

Bernie, does that make sense to you ?

Workaround

Changed 5 years ago by cscott

This is in xkeyboard-config-1.3-4 and has been in joyride for while. Does it work? It is appropriate for the stable build?

Changed 5 years ago by cscott

  • next_action changed from diagnose to approve for release

Changed 5 years ago by cscott

  • next_action changed from approve for release to add to release

Approving for stable build 762 on my own authority (every one else is asleep! and the build must go out!).

Changed 5 years ago by cscott

  • next_action changed from add to release to test in release

Packages added to stable repository in commit b586e68e for build 762. Please confirm the package versions are correct and test in stable build 762 or later.
