Waiting on a patch. ziga.boehm@vseved.net 2004-04-10 06:06:28 0000 is this it? http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137438 libxklavier not able to handle "xorg" rules properly? dberkholz@gentoo.org 2004-04-10 09:27:33 0000 That's one problem, I'm not sure whether it's the only one. roman.kreisel@web.de 2004-04-11 02:15:06 0000 I just wanted to confirm, that there is a problem with xkb: Since i upgraded to X.Org, my Windows-Keys don't work anymore. And it looks like i'm not the only one with this problem. Another Person i met in IRC has the same problem. buison01@ie.hva.nl 2004-04-12 14:45:24 0000 It's worse for me. When using the GNOME (2.6) environment, the applications don't even receive any keyboard input AT ALL! I do see the active window flickering (an obvious refresh drawing) everytime I type something, but nothing appears in the test box I'm typing in. Mouse works okay. Non-session-specific stuff (CTRL/ALT/+ to switch screen resolution, and CTRL/ALT/BACKSPACE to kill the X Server) continue to work, though. Also, other window managers apparently don't mind the XKB issues. I've tried twm and XFCE-4 so far, and they both work fine. Even GNOME apps launched from these environments work okay. dberkholz@gentoo.org 2004-04-12 14:53:02 0000 Try upgrading libxklavier to 1.01, just copy the ebuild for 1.00 over. Make sure `xdpyinfo | grep vendor` returns something containing "The X.Org Foundation", not "X.Org X11" -- if not, remerge xorg-x11. andreas.kotowicz@gmail.com 2004-04-13 13:16:23 0000 upgrading libxklavier to 1.01 didn't help. i'm now recompiling xorg-x11 to see if it helps andreas.kotowicz@gmail.com 2004-04-13 14:03:54 0000 after recompiling xorg-x11, "xdpyinfo | grep vendor" returns now "The X.Org Foundation", but gnome still starts with this error message: Error activating XKB configuration. Probably internal X server problem. X server version data: Gentoo Linux (The X.Org Foundation 6.7.0, revision r0-0.5) 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 sanderfox@quicknet.nl 2004-04-14 08:26:00 0000 I just saw version 1.02 of libxklavier is out on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=319&package_id=49313). Maybe that will help, cause remerging xorg-x11 didn't work for me either. sanderfox@quicknet.nl 2004-04-14 09:05:51 0000 http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=230919 "Release Name: 1.02 Notes: Due to the high demand, libxklavier is now able to detect the default xkb rules set at runtime. The option --with-xkb-rules-set is not necessary any more. Sorry for bother:)" Just for the info :) dberkholz@gentoo.org 2004-04-14 10:48:08 0000 The new libxklavier solved xkb issues on another bug, I'd like you all to try it. sanderfox@quicknet.nl 2004-04-14 11:03:13 0000 Version 1.02 of libxklavier didn't solve the problem for me :( But I figured out my keyboard still workes as root, but not as a normal user. I'm still trying to figure out why... crude@copymat.net 2004-04-14 21:00:18 0000 I can confirm that upgrading to Version 1.02 did not help me either. Thanks dale for waking me up to the olden way of maping the keys ;). guess I got to used to things just working. ohh well lol dale_d@telusplanet.net 2004-04-15 05:56:07 0000 upgrading to 1.02 does not work for me. Also, from the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file (**) Option "XkbRules" "xorg" (**) XKB: rules: "xorg" (==) Keyboard: CustomKeycode disabled sanderfox@quicknet.nl 2004-04-15 06:36:16 0000 Dale, what does that mean ? dale_d@telusplanet.net 2004-04-15 06:55:21 0000 I dunno, I assume it means that xkbd is disabled for some reason. I have also seen X.org errors that it can't find /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules when that directory plainly exists. sanderfox@quicknet.nl 2004-04-15 07:14:50 0000 Hmmm.....ok crude@copymat.net 2004-04-15 18:28:03 0000 I orriginaly thought that (==) Keyboard: CustomKeycode disabled was the problem, but then I looked at my last XFree log, and the same message appeared there as well. I am not saying that it is *not* a problem, but that my keyboard was fully funcntional reciving that same message under xfree ;) as for what it is... i am clueless dberkholz@gentoo.org 2004-04-19 11:07:41 0000 Try removing the line containing 'Options "XkbRules"' from your configuration file. See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120932. vallesroc@gmail.com 2004-04-20 01:17:46 0000 There's also this bug about "windows" keys not working with xorg, that may be related somehow: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34781 vallesroc@gmail.com 2004-04-20 02:51:21 0000 Eek, that's what I meant: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48307 dale_d@telusplanet.net 2004-04-20 05:07:26 0000 the WIndows keys work perfectly fine on my keryboard with X.org. pauldv@gentoo.org 2004-04-26 06:14:33 0000 Dale, does it also work as a modifier (like win-enter for the run-program dialog on kde) dale_d@telusplanet.net 2004-04-26 06:19:56 0000 Yes, it does work that way for me. dberkholz@gentoo.org 2004-06-08 00:22:51 0000 Please try the latest xorg-x11. `xdpyinfo | grep vendor` should return "vendor string: Gentoo Linux (The X.Org Foundation 6.7.0, revision r0-1.0)" The "-1.0" on the end is what you're looking for. grep PATCH_VER /path/to/ebuild should also return 1.0. dale_d@telusplanet.net 2004-06-11 15:16:16 0000 I emerged the 6.7.0-r1 - xkbd still does not map the keys: (**) Option "XkbSymbols" "logiink" (**) XKB: symbols: "logiink" (**) Option "XkbRules" "xorg" (**) XKB: rules: "xorg" (**) Option "XkbModel" "logiink" (**) XKB: model: "logiink" (**) Option "XkbLayout" "us" (**) XKB: layout: "us" (==) Keyboard: CustomKeycode disabled pontifikas@telperion.dyndns.org 2004-06-24 06:35:27 0000 I had the same problem when I upgraded to 6.7.0-r1.

PhilGunnm@ifrance.com 2004-07-11 04:34:58 0000 Just copy /usr/X11R6/bin/xkbcomp to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp and it works! No more error message or keys not working! Seems to be an error in the location of xkbcomp... aoyu93@dsl.pipex.com 2004-07-29 13:32:15 0000 Well, I've just had a second try at xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2 and keyboard support is still terrible. With xfree I always map my own keymappings with xmodmap when X starts. This doesn't work at all. `xmodmap -pke` gives the correct console output but the AltGr and Shift-AltGr combinations I actually get are different and can't be saved in a text document unless I set encoding to UTF-8. I want to use ISO9995-15. I've tried adding "Option "XkbCompat" "basic+pc+iso9995" to xorg.conf's keyboard section but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I'll attach my Xmodmap file so you can see what I'm trying to do. I built xfree and xorg-x11 packages so I'm going back to xfree now until this mess gets cleaned up. aoyu93@dsl.pipex.com 2004-07-29 14:13:13 0000 Created an attachment (id=36417) XFree's output (UTF-8) to view Using Xmodmap, file typed and saved when running XFree-4.3.0-r6 aoyu93@dsl.pipex.com 2004-07-29 14:16:43 0000 Created an attachment (id=36418) xorg-x11's output (UTF-8 to view) Typed and saved in xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2 using same Xmodmap dberkholz@gentoo.org 2004-07-29 14:18:28 0000 It would be greatly appreciated if one of you would step up and try to fix whatever issues there are here. I simply don't have enough time to get to it right now. If anyone does post fixes, I can look at them and get them in. xav-gentoo@degeneve.net 2004-07-31 03:53:04 0000 Hi, I have 2 xkbcomp in my PC, but one has a size of 0 :-( localhost X11 # ll /usr/X11R6/bin/xkbcomp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 196188 Jul 13 00:31 /usr/X11R6/bin/xkbcomp localhost X11 # ll /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jul 10 12:35 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp Strange ... so I copy it and now it works fine ... I upgrade from and Xfree install. G_os aoyu93@dsl.pipex.com 2004-08-16 11:45:40 0000 I found a way around my xorg-x11 xmodmap problems. Both xorg and xfree bind Mode_switch to AltGr by default. However, when you use xmodmap with xorg it loses that binding somehow and AltGr becomes just another Alt key (Alt_R). The workaround is to add this line to .Xmodmap: keycode 113 = Mode_switch Mode_switch XFree doesn't need this as it keeps the Mode_switch binding, but with this change to .Xmodmap it works in both xorg and xfree, so my problem is solved. I have now abandoned my custom /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/gb settings, which was fun to do but dangerous as I didn't really know what I was doing. dberkholz@gentoo.org 2004-08-23 22:53:44 0000 Why don't y'all try out 6.7.99.902? Remember to `quickpkg xorg-x11` beforehand so you can save a binary to downgrade to, if you want. aoyu93@dsl.pipex.com 2004-08-24 02:33:24 0000 I did try 6.7.99.902 but after a while <Ctrl-Alt-F#> stopped working. glen@delfi.ee 2004-09-12 12:37:48 0000 regarding Comment #37, i had similiar issue, i wasn't able to use keyboard switcher in kde and xorg dropped errors: (EE) Couldn't open compiled keymap file /var/tmp/server-0.xkm i also upgraded from xfree (emrge xorgs said sth previous xfree installation detected) and i had this 0 byte file. perhaps should open new bug for it? # l /usr/X11R6/bin/xkbcomp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 181K Sep 11 01:26 /usr/X11R6/bin/xkbcomp* # l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Sep 11 03:17 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp* # cp /usr/X11R6/bin/xkbcomp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp cp: overwrite `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp'? y ---> kxkb works fine now! wintermute_77@yahoo.com 2004-10-26 18:19:47 0000 Poster #37: I'm running Xorg.6.7.0 (most recent) and libxklavier 1.0.3, Gnome 2.8.
