>Description:
The update to Xorg 6.9.0 has broken the greek keyboard mapping,
rendering typing greek characters from X impossible. It has been
reported a while ago upstream, but it seems a fix will not be available
very soon:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5012
It is quite simple to fix the issue in our port at least, by dropping the
suggested patch in xorg-clients/files/. Using this fix, makes the old
xorg.conf files working again in 6.9.0, without any modifications,
unlike other workarounds mentioned in that bug report.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install xorg 6.9.0 and try to either use the gnome applet to configure
a greek keyboard or alternatively try to issue 'setxkbmap gr' or
'setxkbmap el' (the supposedly new supported name).
