Upgraded to xorg 7.0.0_rc3 from xorg 7.0.0_rc2, now after starting X pressing any key on my keyboard changes the screen resolution. Each key press just cycles through those listed in my xorg.conf file. If add the line Option "Dont Zoom" to my xorg.conf file then it stops doing it but then none of the keyboard keys work. I'm using a standard black IBM keyboard (PS/2 connector, 105 keys), nothing special, no fancy multimedia keys, etc... and its worked fine in all previous X versions with out any special configuration. Also works fine from a terminal (i.e. outside of X). I've got another USB keyboard which I tried in the same machine and that has exactly the same issue. I've emerged the xf86-input-keyboard driver (which was working fine in 7.0.0_rc2) and my xorg.conf file has: Driver "kbd". Please let me know what other information I need to provide to resolve this bug. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Updated to 7.0.0_rc3 2. Start X 3. Press any keyboard key Actual Results: Screen resolution cycles on each key press or keyboard doesn't work at all if Option "Dont Zoom" is set. Expected Results: Keyboard should work correctly and ouput charaters. Not infront of machine right now, will added this output shortly.

Try: cd /usr/lib/X11 ln -s /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB Solved my keyboard problems in xorg-7
Donnie, should that stuff be there? It would appear /usr/lib/X11/ might be the right location after all: equery b XKeysymDB [ Searching for file(s) XKeysymDB in *... ] x11-libs/libX11-0.99.4 (/usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB) equery b xkb [ Searching for file(s) xkb in *... ] x11-apps/xkbcomp-0.99.2 (/usr/lib/X11/xkb) x11-base/xorg-server-0.99.4-r2 (/usr/share/X11/xkb) x11-misc/xkbdata-0.99.1-r1 (/var/lib/xkb) x11-misc/xkbdata-0.99.1-r1 (/usr/share/X11/xkb)
No, datadir is the correct location. Look at any of the configure.ac's. xkbcomp installs a symlink to libdir still, but that's unnecessary because xkb now looks in /usr/bin anyway. Even XKeysymDB clearly indicates datadir in the autotools files.
(In reply to comment #2) > Try: > > cd /usr/lib/X11 > ln -s /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB > > > Solved my keyboard problems in xorg-7 Just tried that and my keyboard is now functioning correctly. Should I close this bug as fixed now? or does something in one of the ebuilds need fixing to add this symlink in on emerging it?
As stated by the comments above, that symlink shouldn't have to be done. Maybe there are some steps of upgrading from 6.8 to 7.0 that I'm unaware of. Some configuration settings that are pointing wrong? Donnie? Joshua? Also, I can't use the flash-plugin anymore. First it segfaulted because of XErrorDB, when I symlinked that like I did with XKeysymDB, it segfaulted on some missing locale. I haven't been able to figure out how to solve that yet.
114756 is a duplicate of this bug. .. or vice versa? ;)

There is clearly some program(s) that wrongly continues to look in /usr/lib instead of /usr/share. It's just a question of finding it.
The problem for KDE is due to my fix, that works as long as /usr/X11R6 does not exists. I'll fix that.
Patrik: RC4 is almost in the tree now. Drop that symlink you made and see if the problem still exists. If it does, maybe attach your xorg.conf.
I've dropped the symlink and it seems to work (7,0,0 final) except for the Alt Gr (ISO_Level3_Shift) key.. but I guess that's another bug..
Good to hear Patrik. Ashley, can you confirm?
I'm running... emerge -pv xorg-x11 These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0 -3dfx -xprint 0 kB If I remove the symlink (/usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB) then pressing any keyboard keys just cycles my resolution again. Ash.
Ashley, Is this problem with all wm's and de's, or strictly KDE?
Waiting for an answer..
I just switched to modular xorg (x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1) and... I don't know if my bug is related to this one, the problem I have is that sometimes after pressing a special key (like F12 to open yakuake) or ALT+TAB, my keyboard stop to respond, sometimes definitely ( => need to close the session), sometimes for less than a minute. When it occurs, even the num lock light cannot be switched. For info, my system is depcleaned and revdep-rebuilded. I will post more information if asked!
(In reply to comment #17) > I just switched to modular xorg (x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1) and... > I don't know if my bug is related to this one... Please file a new bug with your 'emerge info', xorg.conf, and perhaps some Xorg logs from the failure (or just in general too). Make sure you attach the files, rather than copying and pasting them in.
