XkbGetKeyboard no longer reporting correct keyboard geometry

[Chris Jones]

It is possible to get the geometry of the currently used keyboard using the XkbGetKeyboard function.
In Gutsy this function works correctly. In Hardy the geometry returned is incorrect.

Version of package: 1.1.3-1ubuntu1

Attached is a program that prints out the geometry of the keyboard using this function and it's output on Gutsy and Hardy.
The incorrect behaviour can also be observed in gnome-keyboard-properties.

Hi tortoise,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? (ISOs are available from cdimage.ubuntu.com)

If it remains an issue, could you also attach a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
Thanks in advance.

The output of lspci -vvnn would also be worth having.

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.

The problem persists.

Tested on a Live 10.04 CD.
