Description Peter Hjalmarsson 2006-04-20 16:35:31 UTC
Some time ago my Xgl-server did not start anymore. By i hunch I commented away 

     InputDevice     "Mouse0"        "CorePointer"

from my serverlayout and that "fixed" it in a temporary way becouse xorg/xgl
automatically detects and use the "mouse" driver for it.
I had before that evdev for both my mouse and my keyboard (and still have evdev
setup for my keyboard).
I uncommented and ran Xgl as command diretly and alone from console and that did
crash. Just X however (which starts plain xorg-server) starts without problems.


The only diffrence in the Xorg.log is that Xgl gives the following:

+    xkb_types                { include "%" };
+    xkb_compatibility        { include "%" };
+    xkb_symbols              { include "%" };
+    xkb_geometry             { include "%" };
+The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
+> Error:            Missing KeyNames section in a Keymap file
+>                   Description of Keymap not compiled
+Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
+(EE) Error loading keymap /usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled/server-93.xkm

Decpite what it says it seems like that error from xbkcomp becomes fatal.
My system is a gentoo-box with latest (in portage masked) xorg-server-7.0.99.901
and my Xgl is a cvs-snapshot taken from the 20060418.

Sorry, marked a bug as a duplicate of this, but it is not. However, I believe
these two bugs are related to the same problem.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
Comment 5 Alan Coopersmith 2009-09-06 22:37:16 UTC
The Xgl server is no longer maintained.
Comment 6 Peter Hutterer 2009-09-06 23:15:48 UTC
Closing as WONTFIX. Not maintained anymore. Sorry we didn't reply to this report earlier.
