I just upgraded from Fedora Core 1 to Fedora Core 2. On the first boot following upgrade, kudzu requested confirmation to configure a newly attached kweyboard, even though my keyboard had not changed or been disconnected. When I logged in, X gave me a popup window saying the following: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error activating XKB configuration. Probably internal X server problems. 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here they are: _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", "" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", "" layouts = [us] model = pc105 overrideSettings = false options = [] I am aware that this may well be symptom of a Fedora bug. The reason I am addressing it to the X crew is that the diagnostic message is massively unhelpful. It gives me no clue what further tests I might perform to narrow down the problem. This should be fixed.
this is assuredly a dupe of bug 472. but yes, the error message is cryptic, especially since this particular misconfiguration is both common and trivial for the user to fix.
changing assignment, this isn't an xserver bug.
