|
This one has me baffled as it was working fine until a reboot
when trying to startx as my normal user, it quits right away with some error involving the keymap
| Code: |
[ 2211.778] (EE) Error compiling keymap (server-0)
[ 2211.779] (EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
[ 2211.779] (EE) XKB: Failed to load keymap. Loading default keymap instead.
[ 2211.852] (EE) Error compiling keymap (server-0)
[ 2211.852] (EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
[ 2211.852] XKB: Failed to compile keymap
[ 2211.852] Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of xkeyboard-config.

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support

for help.

xf86-input-keyboard isn't used nowadays, there's no reason to have it installed. xf86-input-evdev is the usual keyboard and mouse driver.
This looks like an xkeyboard-config problem, so I'd start with re-emerging that. And continue with posting the full log, preferably on pastebin instead of directly here. |

Gusar: that's the "xf86-input-evdev" package?
according to the log section I posted (lists the error) it is an xkeyboard-config problem
No need to post more then what I did as the only additional info is the full log. |

albright: You think you're in the dark ages? I've been out in the wilderness for the last 5 yrs and just now returning to Gentoo - Remember gcc 4 upgrades? How about doing a stage1 install?
Taking the easy route on the rebuild of xf86-input-evdev by doing another world rebuild - needed after clearing the lxde-meta packages along with other testing/broken packages. If the world rebuild fixes the problem, I'll update and add solved to this thread.
Well the problem may have been the radeon-ucode package as I've removed it. Also did an emerge --depclean followed by a revdep-rebuild and nothing seems to be broken |
