emerge went fine. now everytime I start X i get this message: --------------------- Error activating XKB configuration. Probably internal X server problem.

Did you run etc-update?
yes i did
Created attachment 28877 [details] my xorg.conf file - maybe it helps
Also refer to bug #47243.
libxklavier 1.02 fixes this problem.
Super! If you have any other issues, please file a new bug.
I also have this problem, and have been running libxklavier 1.0.2 all the time! New installation, running xorg-x11 and has never had xfree installed. _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "se", "", "" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "se", "", "" layouts = [se] model = pc105 overrideSettings = false options = [] [ebuild R ] x11-libs/libxklavier-1.02 [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0
Oh, I see. You need xorg ruleset, not xfree. How about a not about that in the ebuild? It's that and the fonts that's different in the conf file.
I still have this bug here. I googled and don't understand that I still get it. Here's my conf: _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "fr", "", "" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "fr", "", "" layouts = [fr] model = pc105 overrideSettings = false options = [] [ebuild R ] x11-libs/libxklavier-1.02 [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0 I re emerger libxklavier many times As you can see my layout is xorg too
okay, appears I have the same issue, quite annoying really. libxklavier 1.02 - does not fix my problem grep -i xfree /etc/X11/xorg.conf returns nothing xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "se", "", "" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "se", "", "" spider@Darkmere> gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb layouts = [se] model = pc105 overrideSettings = false options = []
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.
Hi there ! I've the same problem with 6.7.0 & 6.7.1-r1 versions. $ xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "fr", "", "" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "fr", "", "" $ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb layouts = [fr-latin9,fr fr-latin9] model = logidak overrideSettings = false options = [] === xorg.conf === Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "Keyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "fr" === xorg.conf ===
Try commenting out the XkbRules line.
Hate to say 'me too' but I also get this message; 1) Every time I login to X/Gnome 2) Everytime I try to set an alterantive keyboard in the gnome "Keyboard" menu This keeps me from switching keyboard layouts, unless anyone know of another way to do it. I have never used XFree on this install and I have installed the latest packages as of 2004 Jun 17, amd64 (stable). /*** Message: ***/ Error activating XKB configuration.

@ Donnie Berkholz : it doesn't change anything
does xorg 6.8.0 solve it ?
As far as I can tell, no. I just got the same problem after upgrading from 6.8.0 to 6.8.0-r1. I can't find an immediate solution. For me, compiled keymaps are not copied across to /var/lib/xkb/. grep -i xfree /etc/X11/xorg.conf returns nothing, xprop returns: _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc104", "gb", "", "" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc104", "gb", "", "" C.F. bug #65142 This is RESO, however the user seems to be having a similar problem to me (and the others here) but I couldn't make head nor tail of his solution. It's very strange how this happened all of a sudden when upgrading to 6.8.0-r1. Now I've tried downgrading to 6.8.0 (I didn't keep a .tbz2, I guess I'm just silly :-)), and still no joy. This is quite annoying because I need to use my Alt Gr switch very often for other languages. Also, my scroll lock and super keys are broken.
What's ownership/permissions on /var/lib/, /var/lib/xkb/ and /var/tmp/?
/var/tmp/ = drwxrwxrwt portage:portage /var/lib/ = drwxr-xr-x root:root /var/lib/xkb = drwxr-xr-x root:root This morning I also tried emerge -C'ing xorg-x11, wiping the stuff in /var/tmp/portage, then remerging. No luck.
Umlikely that will fix it, but your /var/tmp is wrong. It should be same permissions, owned by root:root. You hit a bug in one of the 51_pre's (bug #56665).
Yeah, I already got roger55 to give me the ownerships and perms of his (working) /var/lib, /var/tmp and /var/lib/xkb and found this. I've changed my ownerships to root:root, wiped out my old /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1 for the hell of it and remerged. Still no joy.
See recent entries in Bug 47243.
I ugpraded today to xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3, and I still have the problem. I never had xfree on my gentoo system.

Some update: it looks, like it's a hungaryan layout specific problem, I can any other layout (I tried about 10 different), all works without errors. And this problem exists on Fedora Core 3 too.
Okay, this bug does not occur in 6.8.0-r2, however it does in 6.8.0-r3 for me. I strongly doubt it is only for hungarian keymaps, as suggested above.
I was able to fix this on my machine by copying /usr/X11R6/bin/xkbcomp to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp. According to epm -ql xorg-x11, this file should have existed, but the ebuild didn't create it. The problem started occurring for me when I rebuilt xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3 (The first build worked fine.). Perhaps the install doesn't work properly if a preexisting xkbcomp is installed.
Ollie, you're hitting bug #41743. So is anyone else with the 0-byte xkbcomp in one of the locations. There are a bunch of different bugs on this bug -- One of them which is known is that the Hungarian and Canadian layouts can't be combined with anything else. The original bug was fixed long ago with libxklavier 1.02. The third is the 0-byte /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp. Tom, you're encountering yet another problem unless yours is mentioned in the above list. Is it?
Donnie, Nope, it's definitely a 0-byte xkbcomp. As I said before, this does not occur with 6.8.0-r2, and there seems to be a lot of xkb-related changes in the -r3 ebuild. Is there a possibility they could be causing it?
Donnie, Sorry about that, I just read the other bug. I'll try rebuilding xorg with the fix. Thanks a lot for your help with this.
I'm closing this as FIXED because the original bug is fixed, the 0-byte xkbcomp is a duplicate of bug #41743 and the hu, ca layouts bug is upstream. If anyone wishes to add another bug to this list or further pursue any of the above bugs, open a _new_ bug to track it.
