Well, the rule files sgi and sun are not actively maintained these days. About the base rules file, the idea of adding * jp = complete+japan looks reasonable to me. So if you confirm it will work with all models - I'd commit it. Well, I' ll confirm now! The settings ! model layout = compat pc98 nec/jp = pc98(basic) * jp = complete+japan * * = complete will work fine. Thanks in advance. committed. |

Keyboards for japanese require some special "compat". Though xc/programs/xkbcomp/compat/japan file has been prepared for that, it is not used by default rule of xorg (in xc/programs/xkbcomp/rules/xorg file). For example, rules/sgi has following entry: ! layout = compat jp = complete+japan This "japana" compat file is not sgi architecture specific, so rules/xorg should have similar entry like following: ! model layout = compat pc98 nec/jp = pc98(basic) * jp = complete+japan * * = complete To be exact, keyboards which use "symbols/jp" or "symbols/sgi/jp" need "japan" compat file, because Caps_Lock is assigned to Shift+<CAPS>. If "japan" compat file does not used in those keyboards, <CAPS> without Shift modifier is also interpreted as a Lock modifier (because symbols in modifier_map are translated to keycode at last). "japan" compat file fixes this odd behavior.
