*** Bug 15114 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I merged xfree 4.2.99.4 last night, and this morning the keymappings were all messed up. I couldn't type anything properly in X. At the end of my Xfree86.0.log there was a line that said something about /var/tmp/server-0.xkv (I'm not certain about the filename.) then complained about keymapping. I had to remerge x 4.2.1-r2 to get x to work again. try pc105 keyboard? Sorry, I should have mentioned that I have tried using: miscrosoft, pc101, pc104 and pc105 I'm using a us layout. in de-latin1 the "pipe" key is messed up too. 104pc keyb can you check with X-4.2.99.902 please? still doesn't work for me with microsoftpro, but works now with pc105 so there's progress, anyway... andreas, what was the exact error with xfree-4.3.0? I just tested it with X-4.2.99.902. I had the same behavior as reported before. <> | didn't work. switched to pc105 and they work. I found something on this topic on the xfree mailinglist: http://www.mail-archive.com/devel%40xfree86.org/msg00789.html I just tried X 4.3.0, and still my entire layout it messed up. I used to have issues with X 4.3 (upgrading form 4.2.1) emerge -C xfree ; emerge xfree didn't help. I've had to rm -rf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb and emerge xfree to solve my problem. HTH, Norberto um, did you run etc-update the first time? please try xfree-4.3.0-r2 (it's currently masked in package.mask, so act accordingly). please report ASAP. I've just upgraded to xfree-4.3.0-r2 along with xft-2.0.1-r2 and now gnome won't startup. do i have to recompile something? I always get the gnome splashscreen and that's it. no error logs, nothing. yeah, try this: /etc/init.d/xfs start then try gnome again (are you using gdm or startx, btw?) /etc/init.d/xfs restart didn't help :( I'm using startx btw. and oh, I forgot, microsoftpro works now :) ok. I unmerged fontconfig and xft. then I reemerged both and now gnome works again. keyboard issues seem, by and large, to be solved with 4.3.0-r2 brain, can you confirm, please? yes, problems solved here, now it's just working fine closing |
