GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 323881
Lots of entries missing from the "Layout Option" tab of gnome-keyboard-properties
Last modified: 2006-04-18 14:49:25 UTC
Version details: 2.12.0 Start gnome-keyboard-properties, select the "Layout Option" tab. There should be around 8 groups of options here. With X.Org 6.8 they are shown perfectly. However, using X.Org 7.0-rc1, only one of these groups appear. The problem is caused by xml comments that appeared in the rules/xorg.xml file. If I remove these comments then gnome-keyboard-properties becomes okay.
Created attachment 55893 [details] This is how it looks with X.Org 7.0-rc3
Created attachment 55894 [details] This is how it should look, and looks if I remove the comments from xorg.xml
Thanks for your bug. What kind of comment do you have? There is no such issue using xorg 7.0 on Ubuntu dapper. Could you attach a bugged xorg.xml to the bug?
Download http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/X11R7.0/src/data/xkbdata-X11R7.0-1.0.1.tar.bz2 and extract its rules/xorg.xml file. I'm talking about the xml comments in this file, such as: <!-- The key combination used to switch between groups --> Anyway I guess this is a libxklavier bug, so I also reported it in its bugtracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1378792&group_id=319&atid=200319 Do you have these comments in your ubuntu's xorg.xml? Does your libxklavier use the system-wide xorg.xml shipped by X.Org, or does it ship its own (out-of-date, without any comments) version? Obviously you won't face this bug in the latter case.
Fixed in libxklavier 2.2. Closing the bug.
