Hi all,


I wrote a new keyboard specification for my computer running debian 10 xfce. Though \
lhe layout is working as expected, I can't see the layout when I call sudo \
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration. So, I  manually modified the  \
/etc/default/keyboard configuration file to


XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="in"
XKBVARIANT="en-pnEqf"
XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
BACKSPACE="guess"


Now, the layout is loading at login and working properly, though it doesn't show up \
in keyboard-configuration. Can someone help me find out what I have missed?


The details:


The symbol file to which I added my definition is the file named 'in'. My addition \
starts as below -


partial default alphanumeric_keys
 xkb_symbols "en-pnEqf" {
 include "pc(pc105)"
 name[Group1]="English (Puthunira QF)";
 key.type="THREE_LEVEL";
 key <AB05> { [ U0023, U005B, U005C] };
 key <AB06> { [ U0024, U005D, U007C] };


After defining all the keys, the code ends with




 key <LCTL> {[ ISO_Level3_Shift ]};
 key <RCTL> {[ ISO_Level3_Shift ]};
 replace key <CAPS> { [ Control_R ]}; 
 include "level3(modifier_mapping)" 
 };
 
 I modified the evdev.xml file to include inside 

<layout>
      <configItem>
        <name>in</name>


the following


         <variant>
          <configItem>
            <name>en-pnEqf</name>
            <shortDescription>en-pnEqf</shortDescription>
            <description>English (Puthunira QF)</description>
            <languageList>
              <iso639Id>eng</iso639Id>
            </languageList>
          </configItem>
        </variant>


The same was included in xorg.xml as well


To evdev.lst and base.lst, I added   


en-pnEqf        in: English (Puthunira QF)


What should I do for the layout to appear in the list that is shown when I call sudo \
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration?

NB: I am unable to attach the relevant files because of the size limit imposed by the \
forum

Thanks,
ajith
