Well, I have been using debian for a while, what I did relatively recently
was upgrade to woody
now since my last email on this subject I noticed an error message from
startx, I managed to capture it and it says
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error: Can't find file "basic" for types include
> Exiting
> Abandoning keytypes file "complete"
> Abandoning keytypes file "default"
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
now... I seem to be missing the /etc/X11/xkb/basic file which might be
what this is complaining about...
dpkg -L xlibs lists that file as part of that package but when I do a
"apt-get --reinstall install xlibs" I still don't have that file
afterwards
is that reconfigure thing likely to give me this file?
