After Easy Debian went 100% Squeeze-based, it turned out that all one need to do, to achieve 100% working hardware keyboard mapping in ED (including custom remapping, done in
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51
), is to replace /.debian/usr/share/X11/xkb/ (when ED partition/image is mounted) with usr/share/X11/xkb/ (maemo one).
Ho ever, it doesn't work, if one got extkbd installed (yet, no external keyboard connected ATM) - all blue arrow keys aren't working, and blue arrow act like real AltGr.
It's not a problem, but an idea came to my mind - knowing that, wouldn't it be easy for You, to enhance extkbd to work simultaneously on usr/share/X11/xkb/ (as it does now) and /.debian/usr/share/X11/xkb/, so it would allow hassle-free usage of external keyboard in Easy Debian, putting unmaintained and troublesome bt-hid-scripts into long-deserved obsoleteness?
Considering, that now everyone can use LbreOffice or Chromium hassle-free, extending extkbd to support ED in LXDE (for ED programs run under Maemo via 'debbie', extkbd works already), would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance
