Today I switched to xorg6.8.0 with the new ati drivers. After the switch I updated my xfce version to 4.2
Now I have some problems with my keyboard. My altgr key isnt useable anymore in XFCE. Somebody has this problem to?
My xorg.conf keyboard section IS right. I use a azerty keyboard with the BE layout.
When I run gnome-keyboard-layout, I can set it right, but @ the next start from X, the altgr key disappears again.

You might have overwritten your /usr/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp when you ran etc-update.
You'll have to recover that file from 6.7.0. It works flawlessly on 6.8 too.

Yep, indeed, I overwrited it by the install of xorg 6.8.0, but how can I fix it? It doesnt seem to be a textfile.

If you did dispatch-conf, you might have it on RCS. Oherwise, the only thing I can think of is
Code:
ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r3.ebuild compile
And you'll find somewhere on its /var/tmp/portage directory.

Hm, somebody explained me on irc. But I got an error when I compiled the ebuild. So I copied the file from another person, but, it still doesn't work.
Somebody other ideas?

Ok, I find it out myself.
I mixed the xorg.conf.example and the XFREE86 config file (generated by fglrxconfig). So i had
Code:
Option "XkbRules"   "xorg"
but it has to be
Code:
Option "XkbRules"   "xfree86"

Problem solved!
(what a stupid fault :/)
