#1695 Tag request for F11
Closed: Fixed None Opened 14 years ago by mclasen.

gdm-2.26.1-7.fc11
gnome-settings-daemon-2.26.1-4.fc11
control-center-2.26.0-6.fc11

These three packages handle xkb configuration, and used the _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP root property to obtain the 'initial' X configuration. Due to our more dynamic Xinput landscape, that property ends up being wrong more often than right nowadays. The change in these builds is to to look at _XKB_RULES_NAMES instead, which is more reliable, but still not technically correct. A correct solution would use device properties and will arrive with Xi2 in F12.

The concrete bug fixed by these properties is the following:

  1. Configure your system keyboard layout to be e.g. German
  2. Notice German layout on the login screen
  3. Log into a fresh account
  4. See that despite the German layout on the login screen, the session has 'us' as the initial keyboard layout
