This is a daily reminder to everyone, but in particular people who experience problems and report them before they read the mailing list archives or query bugzilla for bug reports before filing a new one:
We have switched from X.Org xkbdata to xkeyboard-config data, and in the process the initial build that went into rawhide (1.0.1-5) inadvertently had backward compatibility stuff disabled. This problem has been resolved in 1.0.1-6, which should now be visible in rawhide today.
If you experience *any* keyboard related problems or regressions after updating, make sure you have xorg-x11-xkbdata-1.0.1-6 or later installed before filing a bug report or asking for help. After you're sure you have that version or newer installed, restart X or reboot your system to ensure the changes take effect. You may also need to reconfigure your keyboard with system-config-keyboard.
After verifying you're using 1.0.1-6 or later however, if you still have problems, please do report them in bugzilla against the "xorg-x11-xkbdata" component. I'll be reviewing xkbdata problems closely between now and final build, and incorporating any fixes I can muster up.
Thanks to everyone for testing the new bits out!

Just to confirm that I had those problems with keyboard layouts in X and that today's update solved it. Fabio
