Bug 138695 – wmxkb doesn't work with modular X

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jakub Paluszak 2006-07-01 05:47:06 UTC]

wmxkb-1.2.2 doesn't work with modular X. It seems that wmxkb fails to get keyboard layouts configured in xorg.conf from X.

Can you be more descriptive about the error you are getting? Apparently it works fine here...

On my system it used to work perfectly with old X, stopped working after recompiling, and after updating some libraries (probably libxlavier) it started to act like this (I have three keyboards set in xorg.conf: pl,ru,il_si1452):

Shows three keyboards: pc, pl and ru, but when it shows "pc", "pl" layout is set, when it shows "pl", "ru" layout is set and when it shows "ru", "il_si1452" layout is set.

Strange.

No feedback: closing...
