 |
|
Greetings,
I can't use any combination in X of (right) ALT-GR. and switch the VT with ctrl+alt + Fkey.
On text terminal all works as espected.
The same problem as described here http://www.linux.lu/pipermail/lilux-help/2004-October/000642.html
I looked at all post regarding this error but I wasn't able to find any solution yet. In particular here https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=262667
and here https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=245644
advice to check for consistance between the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp and /usr/X11R6/bin/xkbcomp
And they are the same file!
| Code: | setxkbmap -model pc -layout it
Error loading new keyboard description
setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout it
Error loading new keyboard description
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout it
Error loading new keyboard description
setxkbmap -v 10 -model pc -layout it
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard model
Using command line, ignoring X server
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout
Using command line, ignoring X server
Applied rules from xorg:
model: pc
layout: it
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: xfree86+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc/pc(pc105)+pc/it
geometry: pc(pc104)
Error loading new keyboard description
setxkbmap -v 10 -rules xorg -model pc104 -layout it -option "grg:switch"
... guess the output
|
Made the same test modifying xorg.conf with the same results this is an example of configuration I used:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "it"
Option "XKbOptions" ""
EndSection
|
relevant part of /var/log/Xorg.0.log
| Code: |
(**) Option "CoreKeyboard"
(**) Keyboard0: Core Keyboard
(**) Option "Protocol" "standard"
(**) Keyboard0: Protocol: standard
(**) Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
(**) Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbRules: "xorg"
(**) Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbModel: "pc105"
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "it"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbLayout: "it"
(**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off"
(**) Keyboard0: CustomKeycodes disabled
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard0" (type: KEYBOARD)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse0" (type: MOUSE)
(EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
|
both /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/it and /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/it are present
In knoppix it works with the same configuration... i'm wondering if etc-update last time have messed the things up I don't remeber which file of xorg It updated... and no I had not CVS /etc unfortunatly
xorg version 6.8.0-r1 on gentoo
any advice?

this happened to me also; i'm not absolutely sure, but i'm pretty sure :)
that it was after plunking cvs x11-drm down on top of the gentoo
system...
what appears to have happened, is that /var/tmp got chmod 775, so apps
can't write to it (?). chmod (non-recursively) to 777 fixed the
problem, and brought back the keylayout compile.
there's probably a better way to do this...
cheers
