For tracking purposes: upstream changed the dont_zap config value back to false by default, so we should patch-up the xorg-1.6 to keep with it so users dont have to learn new settings with 1.7 again. For patch see the url.
NB: a new version (or a patched version) of xkeyboard-config is needed to go along with that.
I've nominated this patch for inclusion in the 1.6 branch, hopefully this will make it into 1.6.2. Cheers
Ok, the patch is in 1.6.1.901-r1 (/me curses upstream for braindead numbering scheme). I'll roll out either 1.5+server_terminate or a complete snapshot of the current git xkeyboard-config. Thoughts welcome. Cheers
patches in the branch, xkeyboard-config bumped and documentation up-to-date Closing
