there is definitely an issue for French ibook users. It was in the past reported as http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6593 To get a keyboard mapping supporting accents and the euro sign, we, French ibook users have to install some extra software : ftp://ftp.linux-france.org/pub/macintosh/kbd-mac-fr-4.1.tar.gz listed in http://www.linux-france.org/macintosh/clavier_v4.html Ubuntu/Debian also faces such issue hence a bug created too : https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5989 It would be great to integrate the keymaps of the tarball in the kbd and Xorg ebuild to help French users having a working environment out of the box. Don't hesitate to contact me for additional information or testing Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Freedesktop.org bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2870 Added x11 to CC, is this something we can add until it gets added upstream?
We're happy to add a patch as soon as it hits upstream CVS. No need to wait for an upstream release, but we do want to benefit from the review and support of upstream developers.
Okay, closing as upstream, Steph, can you let us know when it hits upstream CVS and then reopen the bug? Thanks!
