Bug Description

After applying lots of (500+) upgrades to Feisty Fawn yesterday my keyboard changed from Swedish to English. Actually I think it was after I was recommended by the restricted driver manager to run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' because I had a customized xorg.conf. I wanted to enable the accelerated ati-driver.

Now when I try to change back to Swedish I get a popup telling me that there is an Error activating XKB configuration.

$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "se", "", "lv3:ralt_switch"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "se", "", "lv3:ralt_switch"

$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = [en]
 model = pc105
 options = [lv3 lv3:ralt_switch,grp grp:alts_toggle]
 overrideSettings = true

Check if you have
Option "XkbLayout" "se"
in your xorg.conf
restricted-manager don't keep the XkbLayout

Yes, but I have changed it myself, it was "us" after I ran restricted-manager.

it is not a restricted manager issue. The same thing happens if you do
dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

BTW, r-m does not suggest reconfiguring xserver-xorg now, and does not do it itself any more either. So this should not happen any more.

This is no longer a problem in Feisty so I think this bug can be closed...
