--- Comment #7 from Sebastian Wolff BastisEmail@yahoo.de 2009-03-27 09:56:50 MST --- Sorry for the late response. You were simply to fast in responding - I will try to clear up the report and fill it with details:
########################################################## Ubuntu:
$ setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+de(deadgraveacute)+inet(evdev)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" }; };
Behaviour: "é" is working ALT is on Alt € and @ are on right-Alt-E and right-Alt-Q {[]} are on right-Alt-(7890) (^°) and (<>) are exchanged, that is <WRONG> as well.
########################################################## openSuse:
First: During installation it was not recognized by the setup application that the package "pbbuttonsd" must be installed. After installing this, the problems were greatly reduced!!! I believe, this is where Ubuntu passes openSuse.
########################################################## Second (openSuse)
setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwertz)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+de(deadgraveacute)+inet(logitech_g15)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; }; Using this I have the following situations: ALT is on Alt "é" is working. € and @ are on right-Alt-E and right-Alt-Q {[]} are on right-Alt-(7890) (^°) and (<>) are exchanged, that is <WRONG> as well.
##########################################################
It would be good to have ALT on Cmd € and @ may be on right-Cmd-E and right-Cmd-Q or on Alt-E/Alt-L (latter is better) Also the brackets {[]} could be Apple-like (Alt-7890), the same goes for "~|" etc.
The problem not having ALT on Cmd is 1st, that I am not accustomed to this (but one can get used to it) and 2nd and more importantly: consistently. When switchign from X to shell #2 I have to press Ctrl+Alt+2, when switching from any text shell I have to press Ctrl+Cmd+2.
##########################################################
3rd: (openSuse)
setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwertz)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+de(nodeadkeys)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" }; };
The same as case 2, but nodeadkeys
##########################################################
4th: openSuse
setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "macintosh+aliases(qwertz)" }; xkb_types { include "complete+numpad(mac)" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+macintosh_vndr/de(nodeadkeys)+altwin(swap_lalt_lwin)+level3(alt_switch)+inet(apple)" }; xkb_geometry { include "macintosh(macintosh)" }; };
ALT is on Cmd -> good "é" is NOT working -> nodeadkeys € and @ are on Alt-E and Alt-L -> Mac-like good {[]}~| are Mac-like -> good (^°) and (<>) are exchanged, that is <WRONG> as well.

4th: openSuse
setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "macintosh+aliases(qwertz)" }; xkb_types { include "complete+numpad(mac)" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+macintosh_vndr/de(deadgraveacute)+altwin(swap_lalt_lwin)+level3(alt_switch)+inet(apple)" }; xkb_geometry { include "macintosh(macintosh)" }; };
ALMOST NOTHING WORKS!!!
ALT is on Alt; but I can not switch to a text shell anymore by either Ctrl+Alt+2 or Ctrl+Cmd+2!!!! "'e" is NOT working -> WRONG (deadgraveacute) € and @ are NOT working (neither on Alt+L, Cmd+L, Alt+Q, Cmd+Q, Right-Cmd+Q, Right-Cmd+Q) {[]}~| are NOT working (^°) and (<>) are exchanged, that is <WRONG> as well.
