>Description:


I was playing with the usb keymap of the xorg kbd driver when I found that
the x11/xf86-input-keyboard package defines the two functions
KbdGetMapping() and xf86OSKbdPreInit(). These are also defined and compiled in the
xorg server (in hw/xfree86/os-support/bsd/).

When X loads the kbd driver, is resolves the two functions in its own code and not in
the package driver, and thus does not call the functions from the packaged driver.

I would like to modify and send-pr the KbdGetMapping() function of the kbd driver to
add some usb keycode (like AudioMute et al.), so could someone please commit the
attached patch in the meantime?

Thanks,
Anthony Mallet



>How-To-Repeat:


Try to modify and use a different version of the KbdGetMapping() function in the
xf86-input-keyboard package.

 These types of things need to be reported to and fixed by the upstream, 
 X.org.

 And what defines your pkgxf86OSKbdPreInit if hurd, lnx (linux), sco, or 
 sun are used instead of bsd?

 Of course, I just thought that you could be more efficient than me in
 contacting the people from Xorg, because they probably trust you better
 than me.
 And also more efficient in fixing this in pkgsrc quickly.
 And also this could benefit other pkgsrc users.

 I am a pkgsrc user and as such, I am facing right now the problem with
 pkgsrc. But I can understand that you are not interrested in such trivial
 fixes.

 My patch is only a quick workaround for bsd. I don't know the right
 solution, probably the (old?) function should be removed from xorg
 itself.

 But it's only a matter of function name, not code. The name is
 conflicting with xorg one's, which is dandling there probably since
 pre-modularization. That's true for hurd, lnx, sco and sun also.
 Probably no-one tried to change these functions in the kbd modular driver
 since xorg modularization?

 I just checked and both xf86OSKbdPreInit and KbdGetMapping have been 
 removed from xserver code (HEAD).  (That doesn't help with the official 
 releases like xorg-server-1.3.0.0 though.)

State-Changed-When: Tue, 06 Aug 2019 14:55:32 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
the naming conflict no longer exists, as xorg-server removed the second occurrence of them. (as pointed out by reed in this bug report)
