Feature changed by: Stefan Dirsch (sndirsch) Feature #309487, revision 5 Title: Clean out X11 keyboard configuration in YaST - openSUSE-11.4: New + openSUSE-11.4: Rejected by Stefan Dirsch (sndirsch) + reject date: 2011-03-29 17:51:18 + reject reason: Obviously not being addressed. Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jiří Suchomel (jsuchome) Engineering Manager: (Novell) Developer: (Novell) Developer: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently, 'yast2 keyboard' is using kind of strange way of determining which X11 keyboard layout to use. There's a map of internal YaST keyboard names, to which the list of kbd console maps is mapped (like, us.map.gz). Such console map is taken as a parameter for calling /usr/sbin/xkbctrl script, which returns the informations about corresponding X11 keyboard layout (usable for setxkbmap). One problem is that not for all languages, there's a sense to have console map, and because of this situation in YaST, we are using files like ar.map.gz, which are only links to us.map.gz. Other part is that the list of X11 keyboard layouts is part of sax2- tools package which we probably want to drop. New solution would mean that YaST has all the information currently provided by xkbctrl: either by building its own data structure (if there's no other application using it), or using a better way to get the data YaST needs to know.
