Greetings.
I am reporting a bug in the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/us_intl of
package XFree86-etc-4.2.0-1. When one runs:
$ setxkbmap.exe -rules xfree86 -model pc104 -layout us_intl
Error loading new keyboard description
This is caused by commas missing in the file. When I copy the same file from
the Red Hat 9 distribution, it works marvelously. When I perform a diff
between the two files:
diff us_intl us_intl.cygwin.kaput
44c44
< key <AE09> { [ 9, parenleft ],
---
> key <AE09> { [ 9, parenleft ]
46c46
< key <AE10> { [ 0, parenright ],
---
> key <AE10> { [ 0, parenright ]
52c52
< key <AC10> { [ semicolon, colon ],
---
> key <AC10> { [ semicolon, colon ]
54c54
< key <AB08> { [ comma, less ],
---
> key <AB08> { [ comma, less ]
56c56
< key <AB09> { [ period, greater ],
---
> key <AB09> { [ period, greater ]
58c58
< key <AB10> { [ slash, question ],
---
> key <AB10> { [ slash, question ]
Notice that the cygwin version of the file is missing commas.
Here is my setting: I use XWin.exe to connect to my Red Hat 9 server using
XDMCP. XFree86 version 4.3.0 is running on my Red Hat 9 server while XFree86
version 4.2.0 is running on my Windows machine under Cygwin. I do a "xhost +"
on my RH9 server and I then start an rxvt session on Windows and call the command.
Sincerely,
Hans Deragon
