Description Theofilos Intzoglou 2005-11-12 09:36:57 UTC

The problem is that in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/ there is no file named el
but the is one with the name gr. Unfortunately the x server tries to open pc/el
and not pc/gr and as a result the greek layout gets omitted. A simple fix is to
have a link in that folder from el to gr. That fixes the problem for now. I have
posted this bug in xorg's bugzilla
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5012 and I'm waiting for an action
from them. I just wanted to inform you about that in case someone wants to try
the new xorg and uses a greek layout.
