Bug Description

Please add lt (Lithuanian) keymap to NONLATINMAPS variable in xserver-xorg.config script (look at function non_latin_keyboard () ).
lt keymap contains all latin letters, but when this keymap is used, then numbers and special symbols (like !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, * and = ) from keyboard's first "number" row are replaced by Lithuanian letters, so majority of users can't enter special symbols or numbers without changing keyboard layout. This problem is very important if user chooses password with such symbols during install and then he can't login in gdm :(

Btw, if gdm will have a keyboard indicator someday, then it would be nice if lt keymap would be first and en-us last.

Tollef can you please provide me a patch for this one since you know that part of the code?

Thanks

xorg (1:7.2-0ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
    - don't require a xserver-xorg-core non available yet, the versionned
      Depends is only for reportbug
  * debian/control, debian/scripts/vars.sparc, debian/rules:
    - makes xorg arch any and use an extra variable
      to not Depends on type-handling

  [ Timo Aaltonen ]
  * Merge with Debian, remaining changes:
    - debian/control:
      + Add replaces for xinit since we now ship Xsession from x11-common.
        Ditto for xrgb as we ship rgb.txt in x11-common.
      + xserver-xorg:
        Depends: xserver-xorg-video-1.0 -> xserver-xorg-video.
        Put ${F:XServer-Xorg-Detect-Depends} in Recommends:, like the rest
        of the tools.
      + Added Replaces: xserver-xorg-driver-all to xserver-xorg-video-all
      + Added Conflicts: xserver-xorg-driver-all to xserver-xorg-video-all
      + Keep meta-packages for xlibs-dev, xbase-clients, xutils
    - debian/local/Xsession:
      + Set temporary umask when creating $ERRFILE
      + If ~/.xsession-errors is bigger than 0.5MiB, truncate it to the last
        0.5MiB to avoid having it grow indefinitively. (This does not happen
        with gdm anyway since gdm cleans the file on login).
        (Closes: LP #60448)
    - debian/local/dexconf:
      + don't put /usr/X11R6/* in font paths.
      + Uncoditionally re-enable ZAxisMapping in dexconf.
        (Closes: LP #31827)
      + Add InputDevice entries for wacom.
      + Add extra bits for ps3fb xorg.conf
      + Add special case for i810 with 3M TouchScreen monitors to set a
        resolution of 800x600 and avoid probing since it will fail miserably
        in xserver-xorg.postinst. Also make sure to write Option "DisplayInfo"
        "False" in Device Section in dexconf if the above combination is
        matched otherwise the card will display extra unrequired info each
        time X attempts a startup. (touches also xserver-xorg.postinst.in)
      + Due to a very annoying DRI/DRM bug, make sure to use OldDmaInit
        when writing down the Device section for mga driver. This will make
        DRI working at least for AGP cards. PCI didn't work before and it will
        keep not working since the option does explicitly disable DRI for PCI.
        (Closes: LP #27442)
      + Enable elographics driver when matching known machines.
    - debian/rules:
      + set XSERVER_XORG_DETECT_DEPENDS, but with an empty list since the old
        packages are already in Recommends:.
      + move the dh_gencontrol trick to binary-indep:, so it actually is set
        for xserver-xorg.
    - debian/scripts/vars*
      + Add xserver-xorg-input-elographics to XSERVER_XORG_INPUT_DEPENDS.
      + Set XSERVER_XORG_DETECT_DEPENDS on amd64, hppa, i386, ia64.
      + Add xserver-xorg-video-vmware on amd64, remove from non-x86* archs.
    - debian/x11-common.{dirs,links}: don't ship usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
    - debian/x11-common.init: Only source /etc/default/rcS if it exists,
      allowing x11-common to be installed by debootstrap.
    - debian/xserver-xorg.postinst.in:
      + Skip video card autodetection if xforcevesa is...

console-setup (1.13ubuntu7) feisty; urgency=low

  * Add lt to list of non-Latin keymaps (LP: #38931).
  * Map Caps Lock to Shift Lock for Turkish layouts.
  * Build keymap tree from MyKeyboardNames.pl rather than KeyboardNames.pl.
  * Add fr:oss to keymap tree.
  * Set default variant for French to oss (LP: #89835).
  * Remove Keyboard/*.tree on clean.
  * Fix six files in debian/ that were supposed to be symlinks.
  * Move console-setup-udeb's post-base-installer script to be a
    base-installer script instead, so that console-setup will be configured
    properly along with the initramfs during debootstrap.
  * Set Maintainer to me.

      + Add lt to list of non-Latin keymaps (LP: #38931).

        100% known in all combinations.
