           Summary: The Russian keyboard should use the windows-1251
                    codepage
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20020904
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-x11driver
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.com
        ReportedBy: akrioukov at newmail.ru


I use wine in Russian language environment, and I can see, that it uses
windows-1251 as a default Russian encoding. Of course, it is correct, since
Windows applications usually should work with the windows codepage. Even in
Linux windows-1251 becames more and more popular, since it is really better,
than traditionally used koi8.

But the  Cyrillic X11 keysyms, which I input from my keyboard, are recognized by
wine as koi8, and it is strange, since, I think, the keyboard encoding should
match the encoding used for screen. So I recommend to change 20866 to 1251 at
least for one Russian keyboard described in the file keyboard.c (there are 3
Russian keyboards in this file).
