After I have upgraded to version 1.1 of xkeyboard-config-1.1 setxkbmap yields following results: leonid@vyhuhol ~ $ setxkbmap -layout "us" Error loading new keyboard description Downgrading to 0.9 solves the problem.

Same problem here. It seems that 1.1 do not create compiled (to /var/lib/xkb) symlink as 0.9 does, create it by hand fixed it for me.

Creating the symlink fixed my problems with xkeyboard-config-1.1 also. Function keys now work and switching caps-lock and ctrl also works.

ping?
creating the symlink indeed fixes this problem. PLEASE rev-bump asap. thanks!
This looks like a duplicate of #193993
I think I've got a better fix, but it requires a revbump to xorg-server. The XKB output directory needs to be changed to /var/lib/xkb.

Should be fixed in xorg-server-1.4-r2.
Hiya Donnie, Will this be back ported for xorg-server-1.3.0.0 (for those of us still lumbering under ati-drivers)?
xorg-server 1.3 is stable, xkeyboard-config 1.1 is ~arch ... you get what you pay for. I don't think 1.3 had this particular configure option, although feel free to investigate.
Fair enough. A little grepping and a bit of test compiling later and it turns out 1.3.0.0 does support this option, for anyone else wanting to roll their own... 5:) My issues were with compiz (bug 193957, Super seemed always to be depressed), and everything seems a lot better. After adding the xkb-output option and explicitly selecting Super to be mapped to the Windows keys, it all works as expected... 5:)

Fixed in xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r2, thanks!
The Bug 194454 had been marked as a dup of this, so I'd expect it to be fixed, if this Bug is marked as resolved. I have just been updating another system, though, and the same error reoccured. Please note that my original bug report referred to xorg-server-1.4, so it may be there's another location where it has to be fixed?!
