Name        : xorg-x11-server
Product     : Fedora 9
Version     : 1.5.2
Release     : 3.fc9
URL         : http://www.x.org
Summary     : X.Org X11 X server
Description :
X.Org X11 X server

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Set AllowEmptyInput to "off" by default to force driver kbd to load if the
server is started without a configuration file.   xkb: fix core keyboard map
generation.    According to Section 12.4 of the XKB Protocol Spec, if a key only
has a single group but the keyboard has multiple groups defined, the core
description of the key is a duplication of the single group across all symbols.
i.e. G1L1 G1L2 G1L1 G1L2 G1L3 G1L4 G1L3 G1L4 The previous code generated G1L1
G1L2 G1L3 G1L4 G1L3 G1L4, leading to "invented" groups when the process is
reversed.
