Hi, I've read everthing that have been posted about the keyboard problems. As bug #362105 was marked solved, I decided to upgrade. Everything went (about) fine, problems was:- x11-common 7.0.11 conflicts with xfs so the X server doesnt want to start because the default fonts arent available. I've reverted to 7.0.10 and reinstalled xfs. - xbase-clients update postrm wants (seems to) to remove /usr/X11R6/bin but failed because the directory was not empty. I've removed the symlink to allow the upgrade... And reinstall the symlink then because otherwise it was not possible to start X from gdm: gdm_server_spawn: '/usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -dpi 96 -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7' - And finally I managed to start gnome but I got the error message as reported in #362105
Error activating XKB configuration. It can happen under various circumstances: - a bug in libxklavier library - a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities) - X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation X server version data: The X.Org Foundation 70000000 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/kbdThis seems to be harmless but I've lost my compose key and xmodmap is not processed while it is in the session startup programs. I've also some problems with so-called multimedia keys on my keyboard.
Here are the data asked by the gnome popup: [jean-luc@tangerine] % xprop -root | grep XKB_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "logiinkse", "fr-latin9", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "logiinkse", "fr-latin9", "", ""[jean-luc@tangerine] % gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
