Comment 167 for bug 1245473

For Gentoo and derivatives users, a working solution for patching is described here:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379827

Bug report description includes guidance for how an ebuild file for automatic patching of XkbActions.c can be achieved, and an example ebuild file that applies Ilya's patch to Gentoo version of xorg-server-1.10.3 as attachment is also provided by Lance Poore.

I am using the patched version happily now without having any problems. Please consider including the patch in upstream. I am sure it would make thousands of desktop Linux users' lives easier.

Thanks Ilya! and thanks to Lance in the name of Gentoo Linux multilingual keyboard users.
Happy patching :)
