[xorg-server-1.5.0 / xkb] german nodeadkeys layout faulty?

[Tobias Jakobi]

Hi there,

I'm currently looking into this specific wine bug:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11122

The problem there is that wine detects a wrong keyboard layout which 
leads to a sort of key-offset problem.

However to me it looks like the tables in wine's keyboard.c are correct.

I attached a camshot from my german laptop keyboard to the bugreport.

Left of the backspace key is the key that should generate the acute and 
grave accents.

I found https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11514, which 
introduces the problem.

To me it doesn't make any sense to map the apostrophe for the acute 
accent key, since there is already a key for the apostrophe right next 
to the ENTER key.

What do you think? Should this be reverted (plus changing the linux 
console), or should wine adapt the tables?

Greets,
Tobias
