Telling Windows I have a Swiss German keyboard, my /var/log/XWin.0.log contains...
(--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00000807" (00000807)
(--) Using preset keyboard for "German (Switzerland)" (807), type "4"
Rules = "xorg" Model = "pc105" Layout = "de_CH" Variant = "(null)" Options =
"(null)"
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error: Can't find file "de_CH" for symbols include

> Abandoning symbols file "default"
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
So it seems that the name of the auto-detected keyboard layout is no longer
correct.
Guessing wildly, is 'setxkbmap ch -variant de -model pc105' any better?
If you let me know the setkxbmap which works correctly, I can update the table
of autodetected keyboard maps appropriately.
