Thank you for responding Peter. I am not sure what you mean by calling setxkbmap first?
Even if I embed the keymap to use in the InitKeyboardDeviceStruct() in the Xvfb initiation process, same problem. I wanted to know if there was a way to debug this and see exactly which keymap file in a certain directory is being used? It looks like to me just the keymap is somehow wrong. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Hutterer [mailto:peter.hutte...@who-t.net] Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2012 10:12 PM To: Ashwin Chandra Cc: xorg@lists.x.org Subject: Re: Xvfb and xkb On Fri, Aug 10, 2012 at 08:42:51AM -0700, Ashwin Chandra wrote: > I am using Xvfb to render an X session in memory.

If so, this would cause server regeneration and re-set anything done before.
