 Build 703, q2d14

 If you open the terminal activity on a laptop with Haiti mfg settings
 (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Mfg-data); and type characters you will get
 incorrect mappings.

 For instance, QWERTY, comes out AWERTY.

 Email notes from Arjun:
 There seems to be a bug in the xkb symbol file (ca) for laptops for Haiti.


 Details of the bug -->
 In the olpc section of the xkb symbol file found in
 /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ca the default group has been wrongly
 included.

 The line reads
  include "fr"

 it should actually be
  include "ca(fr)"

 Hence X was loading the French layout which is not a QWERTY layout.


 One can test by making modifications in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ca
 and rebooting.
 Only this one line, that appears towards the end of the xkb symbol
 file needs to be changed.
