           Summary: Romanian keyboard layout is broken in xorg-x11
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: server
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: aline at casa.org.ro


After upgrading to xorg-x11, the Romanian keyboard layout is totally
messed up. The previous layout activated the combination of AltGr with
A, S, T, I and Q to use specific Romanian characters. With xorg-x11 the
layout is the same used with Windows OS, which is broken for two major
reasons: it completly changes the position of some keys, which are not
related to Romanian characters, in a weird manner. Second, there are
NO Romanian layout keyboards, this means that all Romanians use
english layout keyboard. Linux users change to the Romanian layout
that adds the AltGr functionality. The Windows users do something very
funny, they stick small pieces of papers on the keyboard in order to
recognize the placement of the remapped layout by MS Windows. 
All Windows users that have been converted to Linux were so happy with
the function of AltGr key. They can write in Romanian in a more
natural fashion and they don't have to "remap" the characters on the keys.
