RiscPC Xfree86 keyboard mapping
Hi,
I've searched the mailing lists and newsgroups for information about this
and found problems of this nature but haven't been able to find anything
conclusive. If there is a solution somewhere please could you point me at
it?
I have an Acorn StrongARM RiscPC running Debian testing (all latest
packages). XFree86 is working okay (via fbdev), with the exception of one
thing - the keyboard mapping in XFree86. The keyboard is a standard UK
PS2 keyboard plugged into the Acorn's PS2 port. The keyboard mapping is
fine under the console.
Currently my XF86config-4 says:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "riscpc"
Option "XkbLayout" "uk"
EndSection
The space bar doesn't work, and various other keys (notably function
keys) don't seem to work either. I know it isn't right but it is the best
I have been able to come up with. When I quit X I can see the following
error in the startup messages:
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
Error: Can't find file "pc/uk" for symbols include
Exiting
Abandoning symbols file "default"
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
I have also tried:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "riscpc"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
but that is far worse - the keys either don't work or produce random
output. I get the same error in the X startup messages.
Does anyone have any input on how to get the keyboard to work properly?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
David
