Hi, in the 1.4 series there is broken the layout when user enables a different layout using alt+shift, a czech-one in my case. When I am in 'en_US' mode, I get 'qwertyuiop[]' keys. When I switch to 'cz_qwerty' mode, I should get exactly same keys, because these keys are not altered in czech layout. But, the 1.4 series has this screwed somehow. Compare the following PAIRS of lines. First two lines on US layout, the latter on czech layout. $ qwertyuiop[] $ `1234567890-=\ [alt+shift] $ qwe¶ŧ←↓→øþú) $ ;+ěščřžýáíé='" Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "kbd" Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "en_US,cz_qwerty" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp:switch,grp_led:scroll" EndSection
Which x11-misc/xkeyboard-config version? Also, you have HAL enabled or not?

The problem can be "fixed" by the following downgrades and subsequent recompilation of mesa (see bug #204188) and few x11-drivers. [ebuild UD] x11-proto/renderproto-0.9.2 [0.9.3] [ebuild UD] x11-libs/libXrender-0.9.2 [0.9.4] [ebuild UD] x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r2 [1.4.0.90] USE="nptl*" [ebuild UD] x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.1.1-r1 [1.2.2]
Well, that's obviously not any fix. What I meant is whether it works for you when you compile xorg-server w/ USE="-hal"
@jakub: not the issue, using <hal-0.5.10.
What's the output of `setxkbmap -print`? Please reopen when you reply.
OK, under working instalation I have the following at the moment. I will upgrade to the 1.4 series to repeat the problem and reopen afterwards. # setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete+ledscroll(group_lock)" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+latin+cz(qwerty):2+group(switch)+group(alt_shift_toggle)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" }; }; # emerge -uNp world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating world dependencies... done!

Created attachment 140677 [details] X.txt
Created attachment 140678 [details] Xorg.0.log So, for some reason I cannot reproduce now the problem, because my czech layout is not picked up from the xorg.conf file. # setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete+ledscroll(group_lock)" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)+group(switch)+group(alt_shift_toggle)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; }; #
I could reproduce the problem again, even without HAL (5.0.10 having now), per comment #4: # USE=-hal emerge xorg-server # qwe¶ŧ←↓→øþú) # setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete+ledscroll(group_lock)" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+latin+cz(qwerty):2+group(switch)+group(alt_shift_toggle)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" }; };
Created attachment 140686 [details] X.txt # USE=-hal emerge xorg-server # X > X.txt 2>&1
Created attachment 140687 [details] Xorg.0.log And the corresponding logfile generated by /etc/init.d/xdm
As per comments #4 and #5: this is not same as bug #200061. I inserted # prevent hal 0.5.10 messing with my keyboard as per bug #200061 Option "AutoAddDevices" "False" into ServerLayout section of my xorg.conf (1.4.0.90) and I still have wrong qwerty keys. Downgrading back to 0.5.9.1-r3 anyway.
With hal 0.5.10 and evdev driver installed, it takes over and ignores whatever you may have configured in xorg.conf. Take a look at http://dev.gentoo.org/~compnerd/temp/hal-config-examples/use-multiple-layouts.fdi -- tweak it for your needs and stick it into /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
I also have several regression bugs with X-1.4: bug 204401 and bug 194515 . Qlso visit bug 205041 that also tell about input+HAL problems. This morning I an having 2 more problems: layout broken (I have FR board and X defaulted me in US) and broken evdev/mouse so that the Y axis is inverted. (In reply to comment #10) > my czech layout > is not picked up from the xorg.conf file. > > # setxkbmap -print > xkb_keymap { > xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; same here: xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; when it should be French azerty
Before trying to mask sys-apps/hal-0.5.10 try to add Option "AutoAddDevices" "False" to your ServerLayout. It fixed my layout, but not my mouse. See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200061#c22
If you have confirmed that using the FDI file as I suggested does not resolve your layout issues or mouse configurations (on 1.4.x xorg-server with USE=hal), please file a bug upstream at bugs.freedesktop.org in the xorg product and post the URL here.
Sorry, I have given this up. I could not make it to work. After having the following xorg.conf setup not even my ctrl+alt+F1 worked and after killing x from remote computer several times I have just given up, sorry. I am not even gouing to report upstream, a number of lists and forums are full of reports of problems. The theoretically best I have got in terms of configuration (still not functional!) was this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" # http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200060#c3 # http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200087#c10 # for xorg-server-1.4 series and hal-0.5.10 #Driver "evdev" #Option "XkbModel" "evdev" # for >=evdev-1.2.0 otherwise use 1.1.5 instead # some people claim the eventX changes on every reboot, and # there were some solutions, but don't ask me details # Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3" # egrep "Name|Handler" /proc/bus/input/devices # for <xorg-server-1.4 series and <hal-0.5.10 Driver "kbd" Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "en_US,cz_qwerty" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp:switch,grp_led:scroll" EndSection The following should have helped to at least have a us layout and but evdev was not being loaded: (EE) Keyboard0: cannot open input pEvdev see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-641870-highlight-hal.html Then I did # cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ to get at least a us keyboard fine again with ctrl+alt+F1 working again, but there was some other error leading me to downgrade xf86-input-evdev to 1.1.5 version. I think the very "last" error was that evdev was seeing my keybaoard and mouse but it complained that it does not know how to talk to the hardware, I do not remeber exactly the error message. So I gave up. If Jakub or someone else provides me with a working setup (xorg.conf + *.fdi) for cz_qwerty then maybe I try once again, otherwise ... sorry. After summing up all of this, I think now I maybe understand what was mentioned somewhere and what I did not undertand before. Probably we need to set INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" in make.conf or somewhere else, it was somewhere along a note about "hotplug" which has to be turned on ... maybe I should have played more with the stuff in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200087#c16 and with the stuff in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199290#c12
(In reply to comment #19) > If Jakub or someone else provides me with a working setup (xorg.conf + *.fdi) > for cz_qwerty then maybe I try once again, otherwise ... sorry. Well, the working setup (for me :P) is this: - NO "InputDevice" section in xorg.conf at all - IMPORTANT!!! Section "ServerFlags" Option "AllowEmptyInput" "yes" EndSection $ cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/use-multiple-layouts.fdi <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- Identifier "Logitech Internet Keyboard" Option "XkbLayout" "us,cz" Option "XkbVariant" ",qwerty" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,caps:shift_nocancel" --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys"> <merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge> <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us,cz</merge> <merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string">,qwerty</merge> <merge key="input.xkb.options" type="strlist">grp:alt_shift_toggle</merge> <append key="input.xkb.options" type="strlist">grp_led:scroll</append> <append key="input.xkb.options" type="strlist">caps:shift_nocancel</append> </match> </deviceinfo> Good luck. :)
Created attachment 142823 [details] xorg.conf (working) Thanks to Jakub, this works here in conjuction with /etc/hal/fdi/policy/use-multiple-layouts.fdi from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204128#c20 and xorg-server-1.4.0.90-r3, app-misc/hal-info-20071030, sys-apps/hal-0.5.10.
