Hello, I use the “BÉPO” layout, and when I have upgrade the package to version 1.7 the layout was bad. In http://bepo.fr/wiki/Versions you can see the work to define this layout, installing the package, I get a version 0.6.x of the layout. To resolved I have just add “=x11-misc/xkeyboard-config-1.7” in my package.mask Perhaps, the problem is not specific gentoo, but I don't known what to do. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install package version 2.Set X11 with layout “fr” variant “bepo” 3.Compare with http://bepo.fr/wiki/Accueil picture.
Are you sure you have configured your keyboard correctly in hal ? Are you sure you've added that layout correctly to xkeyboard-config files ?
For hal, I have not do any configuration modification. I have accept all changes in /usr/share/xkb/ required by installing xkeyboard-config. But I have not configure any thing relative to xkeyboard config in /etc. I have change the layout to “fr” and no variant to try “azerty”, and change only with kde config, and it is the same. My opinion is that the files for this variant are bad, it is possible that is not gentoo specific, but I don't known where report this bug.
Please file a bug upstream and paste the URL here, I'm actually interested about BÉPO support since I heard about it 2 weeks ago :) Thanks https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xkeyboard-config
