Description Alexey Torkhov 2009-09-20 12:19:22 UTC
Typographic variant is not added to xkbmap when selected in gnome keyboard properties. For example, currently I have that checkbox "Enable extra typographic characters" selected, but no "typo" in xkb_symbols:
$ setxkbmap -print | grep xkb_symbols
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+ru(typewriter):2+inet(evdev)+group(shifts_toggle)+level3(ralt_switch)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)"	};

Component versions:
Gnome 2.27.92
xkeyboard-config-1.6-3.fc12.noarch
Comment 1 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2009-09-20 14:41:37 UTC

Could you please also show:

setxkbmap -layout us -option misc:typo -print

xprop -root | grep XKB
Comment 2 Alexey Torkhov 2009-09-21 00:11:53 UTC
Here it is:

$ setxkbmap -layout us -option misc:typo -print
xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete+ledscroll(group_lock)"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)+group(shifts_toggle)+level3(ralt_switch)+compose(rwin)+nbsp(level3)+srvr_ctrl(terminate_ctrl_alt_bksp)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"	};
};

and

$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "", "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us,ru", "altgr-intl,typewriter", "grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:scroll,nbsp:level3,compose:rwin,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,misc:typo,lv3:ralt_switch"

this is "default" properties, that were selected from gnome dialog. Here is misc:typo present, but not in "setxkbmap -print".
Comment 3 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2009-09-21 13:12:28 UTC
That is odd - the xkb option misc:typo does not enable symbols/misc(typo) section. 

Could you please also attach rules/base file?

Thanks

Here is rules/base file.
Comment 5 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2009-09-21 14:27:24 UTC
Very strange... With your (and same with mine!) rules, I am getting this:

$ setxkbmap -print -model evdev -layout us,ru -variant altgr-intl,typewriter -option '' -option grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:scroll,nbsp:level3,compose:rwin,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,misc:typo,lv3:ralt_switch
xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete+ledscroll(group_lock)"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us(altgr-intl)+ru(typewriter):2+inet(evdev)+group(shifts_toggle)+level3(ralt_switch)+compose(rwin)+nbsp(level3)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)+typo(base):1+typo(base):2"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"	};
};

Could something be broken in your X (xmodmap, libxkbfile, ...)?
Comment 6 Alexey Torkhov 2009-09-21 15:39:12 UTC
I'm sure that it is installed correctly. It could be a bug in one of X components.
I have following versions installed:

no xmodmap
libxkbfile-1.0.4
xorg-x11-xkb-utils-7.4
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.99.901
Comment 7 Alexey Torkhov 2009-09-21 16:12:50 UTC
(In reply to comment #6)
> no xmodmap
Sure there is xmodmap, in xorg-x11-server-utils-7.4 package.
Comment 8 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2009-09-22 00:42:39 UTC
libxkbfile1 1.0.5-1ubuntu2
x11-xkb-utils 7.4+1ubuntu2

and xkeyboard-config from git.

Actually, would you try xk-c from git? It should not really matter, but just in case...
Comment 9 Alexey Torkhov 2009-09-30 14:45:34 UTC
Tried xkeyboard-config-1.7 and libxkbfile-1.0.5 and it works the same.
Also filled bug in redhat's bugzilla, but I doubt they will look or fix it soon https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524919

Any other ideas what could be broken?
Comment 10 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2009-09-30 15:03:10 UTC
If you apply the patch from here:

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16975

 to setxkbmap, you might get explanation of the rules setxkbmap applies

debug output

Here is debug output from:
$ setxkbmap -v 10 -model evdev -layout us,ru -option '' -option misc:typo -print
Comment 12 Alexey Torkhov 2009-09-30 15:39:55 UTC
I see it matches misc:typo rules:

The rule from group 22.  Option(s): "misc:typo" in the rule, requested "misc:typo":   Layout[1]: "*" in the rule, requested "us": wildcard.  The rule is to apply later.
The rule from group 23.  Option(s): "grp:alts_toggle" in the rule, requested "misc:typo": ignore.
The rule from group 23.  Option(s): "misc:typo" in the rule, requested "misc:typo":   Layout[2]: "*" in the rule, requested "ru": wildcard.  The rule is to apply later.
The rule from group 24.  Option(s): "grp:alts_toggle" in the rule, requested "misc:typo": ignore.

But there is no block of "Applying the deferred rule" at the end. Could you attach your output for the same command to compare (or diff right away)?

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 19563 ***
Comment 15 Alexey Torkhov 2009-09-30 15:57:24 UTC
Yay! It fixed issue. Seems, libxkbfile deserves new release :)
