setxkbmap cz -variant qwerty fails, only unmodified czech keyboard works. It's a small problem in includes within /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/cz. Reported and solved in the upstream bugzilla https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7778 but rejected since the package is no longer maintained upstream.
Created attachment 103798 [details, diff] xkbdata-1.0.1.ebuild to proposed xkbdata-1.0.1-r1 diff The ebuild can easily include a corrective patch.
Created attachment 103799 [details, diff] x11-misc/xkbdata/files/xkbdata-1.0.1-cz.patch Patch correcting the czech keyboard description to handle variants (like qwerty and bksl).
The bug should be fixed by the attached patch.
Don't resolve unfixed bugs.

Copy-paste of my comment from the other bug: This package is going away once we have the time, so it won't be fixed. I'm assuming the issue does not exist in xkeyboard-config?
(In reply to comment #4) > Don't resolve unfixed bugs. Well, I've filed this bug to make my patch publicly available. I think the patch fixes the bug -- so I don't think it's unfixed. Am I wrong?

Nice. And how is the fact that it works in another package resolve it for this one? I installed xorg-x11 7.2 and I still did not get working keyboard layout files until I manually replaced xkbdata with xkeyboard-config. So it is broken going to be broken until xkbdata is removed/masked or something.
