 |
|
I'm having trouble getting my type 5 sun keyboard working in X, I think my xorg.conf file is right, but when I start up gnome I get this:
Error activating XKB configuration.
Probably internal X server problem.
X server version data:
Gentoo Linux (The X.Org Foundation 6.8.0, revision r1-0.2.2.1)
60800000
etc...
is there some way I can reinstall this stuff? Any clue what's going wrong?
For what it's worth, this is the relevant part of my xorg.conf:
Driver "keboard"
Option "XkbRules" "sun"
Option "XkbModel" "type5"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
thanks |

1. If you really have
change it to:
2. Otherwise, which kernel are you using? If you are using kernel-2.4.xx, you are on the right track. If you are using kernel-2.6.x, you want something like:
| Code: |
Driver "kbd"
XkbRules "xorg"
|
Or, look at a couple working xorg.conf files here: http://dev.gentoo.org/~fmccor/docs/xorg/xorg.conf/xorg.conf.html
Hope this helps,
Regards,

| the driver is keyboard, and the kernel is 2.4.27. I'm pretty sure the xorg.conf isn't the problem here, but I don't know what is. |
