 Posted: Fri Jan 02, 2009 6:35 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Problem setting XKB options |
 |
|
Hello,
I have a problem with keyboard settings in Gnome 2.24.2 environment - when I log in, there is message telling this:
| Code: |
Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
- a bug in libxklavier library
- a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation
X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
10503000
If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
|
and my keyboard doesn't wor as expected - Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, Ctrl+Alt+F* doesn't work (in a gnome-terminal I receive codes like P^12; ), pressing Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V causes gdm to reload (I suspect tha system "thinks" that I'm pressing Ctrl+Alt+C or Ctrl+Alt+V, because when I make Alt+F1 in gnome-terminal I'm swtiching to tty1), and the most annoying is that keyboard layouts don't work
Here is the result of both commands from the above message:
| Code: |
$xprop -root |grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "en, bg", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "en, bg", "", ""
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
layouts = [en,bg phonetic]
model = evdev
options = [grp grp:alt_shift_toggle]
|
I'm using xorg-server 1.5.3 compiled with hal and keyboard configuration is made in /et/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi:

And my xorg.conf is:
| Code: |

Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection
Load "type1"

EndSection
Section "Monitor"

EndSubsection
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"

Option "AllowEmptyInput" "True"
EndSection

According to Xorg.0.log keyboard settings are fine:
| Code: |
(II) config/hal: Adding input device AT Translated Set 2 keyboard
(II) LoadModule: "evdev"
(II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input//evdev_drv.so
(II) Module evdev: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.5.3, module version = 2.1.0
Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 2.1
(**) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: always reports core events
(**) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Device: "/dev/input/event1"
(II) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Found keys
(II) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Configuring as keyboard
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD)
(**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
(**) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: xkb_rules: "evdev"
(**) Option "xkb_model" "evdev"
(**) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: xkb_model: "evdev"
(**) Option "xkb_layout" "en, bg"
(**) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: xkb_layout: "en, bg"

Reemerging (and downgrading) xserver-xorg, libxklavier, setxbmap, xkbcomp, libxkbfile didn't help.
I read a lot of similar problem in net but all were very old - I dodn't find pepole wit current versions of software and problem like mine.
Thank you for your time.

For a start, drop the space from layout string (not sure if it changes anything, but shouldn't hurt)
and decide on one style of options - as you do need the new style anyway,
unify keyboard options to the new style - input.x11_options.*,
simplify that section too and check if the fdi file is actually applied. |

Modified file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi but that didn't help. I had partially success when added this lines to xorg.conf:
| Code: |
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
|
Message for XKB problems in Gnome went away and I can switch keyboard layouts, but another problem raised up: some keys of my keyboard don't work as expected - for example pressing DownArrow key results in Enter press, LeftArrow, PgUp, PgDown don't work at all |

Fixed by changing "Keyboard model" in "Layouts" section of keyboard preferences from "Evdev-managed" to "Fujitsu-Siemens Computers AMILO A1667G laptop" (I'm using Fujitsu-Siemens laptop) |
