Bug 37472

What is the full configuration? I just tried - it worked for me. What are layouts, variants, options?

I think original bug report (from Fedora 14) had this command:
/usr/bin/setxkbmap -model applealu_iso -layout us,us -variant altgr-intl,
I was able to reproduce it on OpenSuse 11.4 with:
/usr/bin/setxkbmap -model applealu_iso -layout us,us -variant altgr-intl, -option -option grp:menu_toggle

Just tried. Works for me. Could you please check with the latest git?

Also, is it evdev driver/ruleset?

So just tried 2.2.1 (2.20110415git19a0026b5.fc15) from FC15 and here´s the outcome:
/usr/bin/setxkbmap -model applealu_iso
Success
/usr/bin/setxkbmap -model applealu_iso -layout us,us -variant ,
Success
/usr/bin/setxkbmap -model applealu_iso -layout us,us -variant ,intl
Success
/usr/bin/setxkbmap -model applealu_iso -layout us,us -variant intl,
Error loading new keyboard description
/usr/bin/setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us,us -variant intl,
Success

So it seems like applealu_iso produces an error with using us(intl),us but is ok with reverse us,us(intl) and pc104 is ok with both

Do you use the stuff from git?

Try setxkbmap {all those options} -print
and setxkbmap {all those options} -print | xkbcomp - -xkb out.xkb

Didn't try from git yet

/usr/bin/setxkbmap -model applealu_iso -layout us,us -variant intl, -print
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
        xkb_types     { include "complete+numpad(mac)"  };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "macintosh_vndr/apple(alukbd)+macintosh_vndr/us(intl)+us:2+inet(evdev)+capslock(groupshift)+group(menu_toggle)"   };
        xkb_geometry  { include "macintosh(applealu_iso)"       };
};

/usr/bin/setxkbmap -model applealu_iso -layout us,us -variant intl, -print | xkbcomp - -xkb out.xkb

This is the answer. If you're using mac layouts, you cannot use "general" ones. The simple workaround would be to copy intl section from symbols/us to symbols/macintosh_vndr/us.

I cannot think of easy way of fixing it except introducing very complex rules for vendors (up to every variant!)

I just ran into the same issue.

How/where should I copy the intl section from symbols/us to symbols/macintosh_vndr/us?

Thank you in advance

Look at the symbols/us file, you'll find the section "intl". You can copy it so the file symbols/macintosh_vndr/us
