Description David Gurvich 2007-09-28 01:26:31 UTC

After updating xkeyboard-config to version 1.1 the key switch no longer works.  Downgrading back to 0.9 solves the issue.

Reproducible: Always

If an update of a non-KDE package breaks KDE, why would you file the bug against KDE? Especially when there are four other bugs for the same issue in several other applications?

Re-emerge xf86-input-keyboard and if that doesn't fix it, do that for libX11 and xorg-server, too. That should fix it.

Comment 2 David Gurvich 2007-09-28 13:51:29 UTC

The problem is not xorg-server, xf86-input-keyboard, or even kxkb.  The new version of xkeyboard-config does not create the symlink /usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled --> /var/lib/xkb 
Creating the symlink manually fixes the problem as per bug 194026
