Package: xbase-clients
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4
Severity: normal
I use the following keyboard layout:
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "fr_CH", "", ""
Since I upgraded to xorg 6.9, I cannot use my AltGr key (which pretends
to be Alt_R), and some accented keys have no symbols attached, as
reported by xev.
I tried to use setxkbmap to force reloading my keyboard, but it reports
Error loading new keyboard description
In Xorg.log, I've a message :
(EE) Error loading keymap /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/server-0.xkm
...and indeed there is no such file in this directory.
Any idea what has occured?
Thanks,
Frdric
