hello, I had some issues setting up Xorg on my kirkwood platform device. My issue after installing X was that it would fail to accept keyboard issue due to "(EE) XKB: Couldn't open rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev" I found the file to be missing, and that on my gentoo system was provided by xkeyboard-config, which seems to replace xkbdata. I created an xkeyboard-config package for openwrt and installed it leading me to find that "/usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB" was missing, which is normally provided by libX11. I patched the libX11 Makefile to include the files that it normally installs in "/usr/share/X11". With "/usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB" missing, the keyboard would fail to work in Xorg and when starting Xorg you would be presented with a bunch of errors like:
expected keysym, got XF86_Switch_VT_1: line 8 of xfree86 expected keysym, got XF86_Switch_VT_2: line 11 of xfree86 With my patch to the libX11 Makefile to put the contents it installs into "/usr/share/X11/" Xorg works correctly. Included inline are the two patches I created, I hope I have done this correctly, for this is the first time I have ever submitted patches to anything(I will happily accept criticism and suggestions to get better at this) Signed-off-by: Chris Schimp <silverch...@gmail.com> Index: Xorg/xorg/data/xkeyboard-config/Makefile =================================================================== --- Xorg/xorg/data/xkeyboard-config/Makefile (revision 0) +++ Xorg/xorg/data/xkeyboard-config/Makefile (revision 0) @@ -0,0 +1,38 @@ +# +# Copyright (C) 2008-2010 OpenWrt.org +# +# This is free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License v2. +# See /LICENSE for more information. +# + +include $(TOPDIR)/rules.mk + +PKG_NAME:=xkeyboard-config +PKG_VERSION:=1.7 +PKG_RELEASE:=1 + +PKG_SOURCE:=$(PKG_NAME)-$(PKG_VERSION).tar.bz2 +PKG_SOURCE_URL:=http://xlibs.freedesktop.org/xkbdesc/ +PKG_INSTALL:=1 + + +include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/package.mk + +define Package/xkeyboard-config + SECTION:=xorg-data + CATEGORY:=Xorg + SUBMENU:=data + TITLE:=xkeyboard-config + URL:=http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig +endef + +define Build/Configure + $(call Build/Configure/Default) +endef +define Package/xkeyboard-config/install + $(INSTALL_DIR) $(1)/usr/share/X11/xkb + $(CP) -v $(PKG_INSTALL_DIR)/usr/share/X11/xkb \ + $(1)/usr/share/X11/ +endef + +$(eval $(call BuildPackage,xkeyboard-config)) Index: feeds/packages/Xorg/xorg/lib/libX11/Makefile =================================================================== --- feeds/packages/Xorg/xorg/lib/libX11/Makefile (revision 22124) +++ feeds/packages/Xorg/xorg/lib/libX11/Makefile (working copy) @@ -74,9 +74,13 @@ define Package/libX11/install $(INSTALL_DIR) $(1)/usr/lib + $(INSTALL_DIR) $(1)/usr/share/X11 $(CP) \ $(PKG_INSTALL_DIR)/usr/lib/*.so* \ $(1)/usr/lib/ + $(CP) \ + $(PKG_INSTALL_DIR)/usr/share/X11/* \ + $(1)/usr/share/X11 endef $(eval $(call Feature,libX11)) _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
