Description marckasten 2004-05-21 21:18:05 UTC 
Running Fedora Core 2, X11-6.7.

After logging into X, I get an error pane:
##BEGIN##############
Error activating XKB configuration.
Probably internal X server problem.

X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
60700000

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
##END################
##BEGIN DIAG#########
[marc@Ursula marc]$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us,il", ",",
"grp:lwin_switch,grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us,il", "",

Same error occurred before I changed the XF86Config to allow use of Hebrew data
entry and keyboard switching.
Comment 1 Stéphane Loeuillet 2004-05-29 01:01:12 UTC 
as it has been reported around 10 times for monolithic 'xorg', replace 'xfree86'
by 'xorg' in your xorg config file

bug #553 is a dupe of this one
see alsa #514, #514 & #544
(and a lot more in 'xorg')
