Well spotted - it appears to be a regexp gone wrong, sorry about that. After further experimentation, the following combinations result in broken e and c keys, with no warning or error messages in /var/log/XFree86.0.log: pc10104 ukgb pc104 ukgb pc104 uk Perhaps the Xserver could provide some kind of alert when an invalid keyboard/keymap is selected; or maybe they are valid combinations and are stale files on my computer? The combination of pc104 and gb works fine for me. For future reference, where is the list of acceptable keyboard varieties and keymaps kept?
