This is what I get when I try to run setxkbmap:-

tony@G2 tony $ setxkbmap
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xfree86' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
Segmentation fault

which version of xfree?
Comment 4 Tony Austin 2003-03-21 02:23:02 UTC
On further investigation I think this might be a problem with the Xvnc that I am using as it does not happen using X from the computer main console.
Comment 5 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-21 03:41:37 UTC
Right.  Seemant, who does Xvnc ?
Comment 6 Tony Austin 2003-03-21 06:12:44 UTC
I'm sorry I think I may have been wasting your time.

I am using Xvnc from Alan Hourihane's xf4vnc project, which is based on the XFree86 version 4 code.  I hadn't realised that I have this on _all_ my Gentoo machines and thought that the problem related to other versions of Xvnc as well.

I have advised Alan of the problem.

Not a package in the tree.
