Synopsis

xkeyboard-config bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

An updated xkeyboard-config package that fixes one bug and adds two enhancements is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The xkeyboard-config package provides the xkeyboard-config alternative xkb data files.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, duplicate mapping for the backslash key caused the Indic Onscreen Keyboard (IOK) to exit with a segmentation fault when the Hindi Wx mapping was selected. This update modifies the mapping so that IOK no longer exits unexpectedly. (BZ#638612)

This update also adds the following enhancements:

• With this update, the Unicode Rupee symbol is now included in the Indic keyboard layouts. (BZ#651774)

• This update upgrades the xkeyboard-config data files to upstream version 2.3. (BZ#713863)

All users of xkeyboard-config are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which addresses this bug and adds these enhancements.
