Description Ondrej Svetlik 2004-04-20 17:05:48 UTC

The server says, it's unable to activate XKB settings and it's probably
xserver's error.

Here is the required output:
:~> xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", ""

:~> gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
 layouts = [us,cz_qwerty        basic]
 model = pc105
 options = [altwin      altwin:meta_alt]
 overrideSettings = false

Hello.

I also have been getting this error since I updated FC2Test2 recently (last
week). Performance seems fine...and no other effects I can tell...but this shows
up everytime I start Fedora now.

<
Error activating XKB configuration.
Probably internal X server problem.

X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
60700000
>

And the required I get back from 
xprop -root | grep XKB:

_XKB_RULES_NAMES
_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", ""

and gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb:

 layouts = [us]
 model = pc105
 overrideSettings = false
 options = []


Hope this helps!

You are right, I forgot to mention, it started after one update.

Comment 3 Stéphane Loeuillet 2004-04-27 20:49:47 UTC

see #544 and friends (xfree86 => xorg in config file)

As the comment to Bug 544 says:

perhaps replacing 'xfree86' in the config file by 'xorg' would do it ??

This worked for me. Thanks a lot.
