i have a problem with xkb which cannot solve.
i use sid (but the problem arose while sarge was installed on my
laptop);
after a crash provoked by hibernate, apparently, something was
corrupted.
gnome started but a couple of pop-up win's appeared warning that an
error
had occurred while activating XKB conf probably because of an internal
error of the xfree server and alt and alt-gr (at least) did not work.
after a while the fact that the responsible was actually xfree and not
gnome
was clear, in fact:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep -i xkb /var/log/XFree86.0.log
(**) Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
(**) XKB: rules: "xfree86"
(**) Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
(**) XKB: model: "pc105"
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "it"
(**) XKB: layout: "it"
Error loading keymap /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/server-0.xkm
therefore i started a search through google and did dpkg -S of all the
files
and dir i deemed useful to try to find out the pkgs affected.
i have found that the command:
xkbsel -v --debug -s "xfree86(it)"
gave an error so i apt-get install --reinstall xkbsel but with no avail
and
then libx11-6 which gave a workaround, now running the above command
everything seems to work but launching:
xprop -root | grep XKB
i get
XKBSEL_CURRENT_KEYBOARD(STRING) = "xfree86(it it"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "it", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "it", "", ""
one more line (the first above) is added to the two which i get before
running the command
in order to try to settle everything i decided to:
first upgrade to sid, but this did not solve the question
second reinstall xfree (apt-get install --reinstall of all (or almost
all)the
relevant pkg's lib's included)
but the problem is still there, as far as vc's are concerned, they work
correctly, anyway, prudently, i reinstalled locales and console-data.
i am tempted by installing xorg from ubuntu, but before entering in a
further
mess :-) i have decided to bother you with my problem.
thanks
aldo
p.s. herebelow please find my XF86Config-4 and the output of
xkbsel -v --debug -s "xfree86(it)" (if they can be of any help)
