Running the Modular X 7.0: xorgcfg comes for about 1/5 second then it quits with a error message: "Can't create rules structure" I've remerged the X-server about 3-times, but nothing helped sofar. It is something from the kbd, because I found this phrase in (I've searched the mono. source of the X server, because I don't know in which source package of the modular X I have to search.)

I see this problem too - was hoping it'd be fixed for 7.0 final. Ajax, is this a Gentoo-only problem or can you confirm the problem on your end too? I only ask because we change some paths around from the default. I don't want to have an upstream bug made if it's our problem.

Fresh install from stage1 mith gcc-4.0.2-r3 and glibc-2.3.6-r* and unmasked modular X have not shown any affect on this. It ,as already shown before, comes up and show "Can't create rules structure!"
as noted in the last reply of http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-416857.html: I've copied the content of /usr/share/X11 to /usr/lib/X11. Maybe this is also helpful: equery b /usr/share/X11/* [ Searching for file(s) /usr/share/X11/app-defaults,/usr/share/X11/rgb.txt,/usr/share/X11/XErrorDB,/usr/share/X11/xkb,/usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB in *... ] x11-misc/xkbdata-1.0.1 (/usr/share/X11/xkb) x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.1-r1 (/usr/share/X11/app-defaults) x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.1-r1 (/usr/share/X11/xkb) x11-apps/rgb-1.0.0 (/usr/share/X11/rgb.txt) x11-apps/xkbcomp-1.0.1 (/usr/share/X11/xkb) x11-apps/xclock-1.0.1 (/usr/share/X11/app-defaults) x11-libs/libX11-1.0.0 (/usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB) x11-libs/libX11-1.0.0 (/usr/share/X11/XErrorDB)
This actually came up in the xorg mailing list and is being discussed. Once we make sure we have a good solution, we'll add it to the ebuild. From what I've read, xorgcfg is broken in other ways as well.
I've tried to fix this in xorg-server-1.0.2, as of tonight. Please sync in an hour or more and try again.
