Bug#435684: xserver-xorg: Error activating XKB configuration
Hi Brice, I'm frustrated with upgrades and Debian.

I upgraded to Debian Etch. `apt-get dist-upgrade`

I'm running a plain Etch gnome and X.
I *can* upgrade the X packages to testing or unstable, but I *don't
want to*, given the current track record. e.g. the fact that upgrading
will bring down a ton of other ***unnecessary**** dependencies that
could have been avoided if the testing packages had been compiled
against the minimum dependencies (http://www.mkgnu.net/?q=node/103) of
the software. Not to mention that for the past 4 years after I start X
if I switch back to a text console the text looks jagged, permanently
(but not if the system is just booting).
At this point I want things to work as expected. It was working with
Debian 3.0. It should work now.

I just tried this but it does not help. I still get the same error message.

(unrelated) I just removed it.

(unrelated) I just removed it. Of course, *I* never added those
modules there. The X tools did. If they are not loading, why don't the
X tools resolve this ?

(unrelated) I just removed it.
