Slovak/Czech support in X - bugs

["Miroslav Vasko" <vasko zavinac ies bod sk>]

Hi!

            First, excuse my horrible english, which is not my first 
language, and I was lazy in the school.

        I do not want to send this as bugreport beczuse of deep-freeze of 
Slink and I hope, this is the fastest way.

    I hope, you will push this changes to slink, because console
is ok (locales, keyboard, fonts for czech and slovak languages), but
it lacks in X11R6 (version used in hamm - 3.3.2.2-4).

First, patches needed for CZECH language & keyboard
---------------------------------------------------

    It is based on editing two config-files ("xbase" package in 
hamm):     (czech.tar.gz)
    
    1) /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-2/Compose - add these lines:
    
       <yacute>                               : "\375"        yacute
       <aacute>                               : "\341"        aacute
       <iacute>                               : "\355"        iacute
       <eacute>                               : "\351"        eacute
       <uacute>                               : "\372"        uacute

    2) /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias - two lines
    
       cs_CS                   cs_CZ.ISO8859-2
       czech                   cs_CS.ISO8859-2
    
      change like this:
      
       cs_CZ                   cs_CZ.ISO8859-2
       czech                   cs_CZ.ISO8859-2
       
    above two steps can be done by applying patch "X11patch"

    3) I'm sending you better czech keyboard, too (file "cz"). Copy 
it to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/


Second, patches needed for SLOVAK language & keyboard
-----------------------------------------------------

    I'm not from Czech republic, I'm from Slovak republic. Slovak 
support lacked in hamm absolutelly. I wantto change this - slovak 
locales and console keyboard will be included in slink, I hope, the 
same will happen in case of X11.

    I'm sending you slovak.tar.gz:
       
    1 XKeysymDB.add - please, add by 
      "cat XKeysymDB.add >>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB"

    2 xfree86.add - please, add by
      "cat xfree86.add >>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree86"
           
    3 czsk - slovak and czech keymaps - cp it into 
      /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/
           
    4 group_led - for automatic scroll-lock toggling, when 
      keyboard is changed form us to sk/cz and from sk/cz to us
      cp it to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compat/

    Please, let me know about progress you've made in including 
slovak and czech support in slink. If you want, please, send a note 
to czdebian-l zavinac debian bod cz - it is official debian Czech/Slovak 
maillist.

    This message was written as official patch from "Debian CZ/SK" 
project. Many people hope, that slovak and czech support will be 
included in slink and that slink will grow on local slovak/czech 
market.

    Thank you very much,
