 |
|
Hi All,
I've been trying to figure this out, but I'm not getting any errors in my log, but I'm getting a popup window stating there's the XKB configuration error. I've deleted the /usr/share/xkb and /usr/x11/bla bla and re-emerged keyboard config, so it shouldn't be a bad xkb file. Here's what I have in my xorg.conf.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
# Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbVariant" ""
EndSection
Where else can I look to find the root of this error?
Thanks in advance!

The "us" file in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols is worse than the one included in xorg-x11-6.8.2...
I couldn't do: | Code: | ...
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "intl"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:switch"
... |
Resulted in this error in kdm.log: | Code: | ...
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error: No Symbols named "pc104compose" in the include file "us"
> Exiting
> Abandoning symbols file "default"
... |
Putting back the old "us" from 6.8.2 solved it for me. Maybe it works for your desired layout too.
N.B. You probably have a "pc10x" model too. Just count the number of keys (incl. those 2 bad M$ logo keys). |

I currently have "us" in layout. And I have the Microsoft keyboard also. Options is blank. I didn't realize kdm maintained a log file. I'll look for it. Thanks for the input.

I've been through the Mod. X migration howto. It didn't help. I've deleted all the stuff, including the entries in lib64 that the migration guide doesn't mention.

Seems that xorg v7 wants me to do this: | Code: | Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin,eurosign:5,lv3:ralt_switch"
|
to have the former us layout, without dead keys (euro sign + compose key instead).
But still I think there's something wrong (bug). The default rules file in v7 talks about non-existing symbols, like "us(%mcompose)". Should be removed imho...
Cheeers. |
