Description Mary Ellen Foster 2004-05-05 17:44:19 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
OS:          Linux

I installed Fedora Core 2 Test 3 at home, and I noticed that there were no keyboard layouts available to be chosen in the control centre. I bugzilla'd this at redhat, and they said it was a problem with kde, that it wrongly hardcodes "xfree86" as the name of the XKB rules file.

Here is the entry in redhat's bugzilla; please see comment #4 there from mharris for his detailed description of the problem.
