When doing x11->console conversions, find_converted_keymap() searches
automatically for a candidate in the converted keymap directory for a given x11
layout.
However doing console->x11 conversions, this automatic search is not done hence
simple conversion in this direction can't be achieved without populating
kbd-model-map with entries for converted keymaps.
For example, let's consider "at" layout which is not part of kbd-model-map. The
"at" x11 layout has a generated keymap
"/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/xkb/at.map.gz". If we configure "at" for the x11
layout, localed is able to automatically find the "at" converted vc layout and
the conversion just works :
$ localectl set-x11-keymap at
$ localectl
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
VC Keymap: at
X11 Layout: at
However in the opposite direction, ie when setting the vc keymap to "at", no
conversion is done and the x11 layout is not defined:
$ localectl set-keymap at
$ localectl
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
VC Keymap: at
X11 Layout: (unset)
This patch fixes this limitation as the implemenation is relatively simple and
it removes the need to populate kbd-model-map with (many) entries for converted
keymaps. However the patch doesn't remove the existing entries in kbd-model-map
which became unneeded after this change to be on the safe side.
Note: by default the automatically generated x11 keyboard configs use keyboard
model "microsoftpro" which should be equivalent to "pc105" model but with the
internet/media key mapping added.
