Hi, I'm using a macbook pro santa rosa 15", azerty keyboard but with dvorak layout.
* At work i have an external monitor (vga, attached to the nvidia card) and external mac azerty keyboard attached through usb (alhough i always want to type in dvorak no matter the keyboard)
* At home i use the laptop without extra screen or keyboard.
At work all is fine, my keyboard works great (and in dvorak).
But at home - without the usb keyboard - the login screen is in dvorak, but after logging in the keyboard layout is really weird (and not just azerty or querty) : most of the buttons don't even do anything, and buttons like h and t (in dvorak, j and k in azerty) produce characters like 2 and 1 .
This is like this for a few days : broken at home , at work no problem at all. Yesterday i tried selecting 'gnome session' and 'failsafe gnome' instead of the default session but got exactly the same behavior. At some point I even got an error message asking me to report some things but I could'nt type anything so....
So today, at work again I boot again with usb keyboard and I get "Error activating XKB configuration.", asking me to post the output of 2 commands (see below)
Info :
ubuntu hardy (apart from maybe 30 hours, containg all latest updates (with default options, no backports, hardy-proposed etc)

xkeyboard-config: statusexplanation |
With Intrepid and Jaunty, we've moved from the -kbd driver to -evdev, so this bug may have just gone away.
Can you please test it against Jaunty to verify whether it is still an issue? If it is, then this bug probably actually belongs to xorg-server. ISOs of Jaunty are available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/ - thanks ahead of time. |
Since the hardware is no longer available for doing troubleshooting with, we'll have to close the bug for now. However please feel free to reopen if you or anyone else has the same HW and can reproduce this issue using the latest development version of Ubuntu and is willing to do some troubleshooting with it. |
