xkbcomp: missing /usr/lib/x11/xkb/rules/evdev [SOLVED]

[ExecutorElassus]

I just ran 'emerge world' yesterday. On reboot, xorg fails to start with the following error in the log:

Code: Select all

(EE) XKB: Couldn't open rules file /usr/lib/x11/xkb/rules/evdev

As far as I know, I've never had this file: I have /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/12-keyboard.conf for setting the config.

What package would own this file, and why is xorg looking for it now?

Vheers,

Looks like it does come from https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/x1 ... ard-config.
At least a very similar path/file is listed there https://www.portagefilelist.de/index.ph ... 014f9517d9

That website gives me a 403. But 'equery f xkeyboard-config' only returns files in /usr/share on my system, so I'm not sure what's missing.

Sorry for the brief and typo-laden texts. I'm on my phone

ETA: posted a bug.
ETA2: it was a misconfigured xkbcomp, now patched, but for some reason still not working on my system, and in between it turns out my progile was borked. Fixed that, remerged, rebooted, no change.

Update: solved. I needed to remerge xorg-server after updating xkbcomp, and now I'm back to my GUI, hurrah.

I love gentoo so much. Every problem I have, I post it and nice people help me solve it within a couple hours. It's the best.

looks like I made my anti-spam-bot-rules to "wide"....
