Bug Description

Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config

The Kinesis keyboard is defined in /usr/share/X11/xkb/geometry/kinesis, and also listed in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev. However, it is not present in evdev.xml and can therefore not be chosen in the gnome keyboard preferences.

Patch to add support for kinesis (updates in rules/*)

The Kinesis keyboard geometry exists in xkeyboard-config, however it is not selectable in the Keyboard preferences.

It appears that the configuration in rules/* need to be updated.

I attach a patch that adds an entry for kinesis in rules/*.
(sorry, it's untested).

The update has been committed upstream at the xkeyboard-config project.

In Ubuntu 10.10 the Kinesis keyboard model will be available in the Keyboard preferences.
You may also modify your Ubuntu 10.04 so that your can select the model now.
