[Bug 363388] Re: console-setup fails to interpret 'ISO_Level5_Shift' when configuring with an xkb keymap

[Benjamin Drung]

I checked Ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10. It works in both. So this bug can be
closed.

Title:
  console-setup fails to interpret 'ISO_Level5_Shift' when configuring
  with an xkb keymap

Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: console-setup

  Ubuntu-release: 8.10
  Package-version: 1.25ubuntu4

  While playing around with a German Keyboard Layout called 'neo' using the xkb-key-type 'EIGHT_LEVEL' I noticed that Level5 isn't invoked correctly by solely defining 'ISO_Level5_Shift' on the desired key (also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/49358/comments/10 ).
  This however is resolved by mapping 'ISO_Level5_Shift' to the real modifier 'Mod3' (works with X environment).
  When running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup' to compile the layout for the console I get these warnings:

  WARNING: Unknown X keysym "ISO_Level5_Shift"

  As a result Level5 isn't working in tty* (just getting the symbols of Level1). I want to mention that it IS defined in '/usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h' and therefore even 'xkbcomp' recognizes this keysym. Also using the hexcode instead of 'ISO_Level5_Shift' didn't solve the problem (although there are no warnings in console-setup).
  'ISO_Level3_Shift' for Level3 is working fine.
