Keyboard Layout switch problem (xorg-X11-7.2)

[garfungiloops]

Hi All,

Anybody knows, why after upgrading the X-org (I have xorg-x11-7.2 now),
it became impossible to switch the keyboard layouts, having in xorg.conf following:

....
Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru(winkeys)"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"

EndSection
.....

Before upgrade (on xorg-x11-7.1) it was ok
Also I cannot switch from X-session to the virtual console now (i.e. ctrl-alt-F1 doesn't work).

Found the following error in Xorg.0.log:

...
(WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
...

However I have a keymap on (/usr/share/keymaps).
May be they have to be on some other location now?

Ok,

I've tryed to follow modular Xorg guide step by step once again,
and when I'm trying to config the keyboard manually:

setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout us -variant dvorak -v 10


I've got the output:


Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Applied rules from xorg:
model: pc105
layout: us
variant: dvorak
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: xfree86+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc/pc(pc105)+pc/us(dvorak)
geometry: pc(pc105)

Ok,

I've posted a bug about that ( https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196613)
They recommend me to switch from xkbdata(which is not supported now) to xkeyboard-config.

I did that, however now I have another problem:
root:~# setxkbmap -v 10
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Couldn't find rules file (xorg)

Also when you follow the manual:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml
when you come to the point:

Sorry, last was just a problem with etc-update.
Now I've emerged a newest x11-misc/xkeyboard-config-1.1
and have the same problem as at the beginning with xkbdata, i.e :

root:/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules# setxkbmap -v 10
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Applied rules from xorg:
model: pc105
layout: us
variant: dvorak
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: xfree86+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc+us(dvorak)
geometry: pc(pc105)

For those who interested.

It was duplication of the bug 194026.
The problem is solved either using xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r1 in combination with xkeyboard-config-0.9 (stable at the moment)
or xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r2 and xkeyboard-config-1.1 (~x86 at the moment)
