I get the exakt same error in a requester when gsd is started the normal way (when I log in using gdm). This is after installing control-center 2.5.2-2 (upgrading from 2.4 series). I tried removing everything but "Identifier" and "Driver" from the keyboard section in my XF86Config, makes no difference. Found out that configuring my keyboard in gnome-keyboard-properties instead of directly in XF86Config (or using system-config-keyboard) made it work correctly. Seems gnome-keyboard-properties writes some gconf values in /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb that is needed for xkb to work properly... Fixed in 2.5.3-2 Created attachment 99670 [details]

The same bug re-appears with X.org x server. --- Error activating XKB configuration. Probably internal X server problem. X server version data: The X.Org Foundation 60700000 If you report this situation as a bug, please include: - The result of xprop -root | grep XKB - The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb --- [root@rodger-tp root]# xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", "" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", "" [root@rodger-tp root]# gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb layouts = [us] model = pc105 overrideSettings = false options = [] [root@rodger-tp root]# ---- Module list of my installation is also attached. Same exact error as posted above. Re-posted below. Keybord works except for the annoying nag window on desktop login.. If I can just get rid of the dialog box I'll be happy. Upgrade from RH9 to FC2 Std. IBM/Windows PS/2 kbd kbd Worked perfectly on RH9 Error activating XKB configuration. Probably internal X server problem.

Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
from your x config.
I have the same problem Randall describes. I don't have an xfree86
rule in my config, and I installed from scratch (not an upgrade from
an earlier RHL). Here's the output the dialog box requests:
[gifford@gifford gifford]$ gconftool-2 -R
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
model = dell
[gifford@gifford gifford]$ xprop -root |grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "", ""
My config file says:
Hi guys, This bug is rather old and in the MODIFIED state, which means it's probably been fixed. I'm going to close this bug, but if you see the problem with recent version of Fedora Core, feel free to reopen. |
If I run g-s-d by hand (see 114476), I get: -- Error activating XKB configuration. Probably internal X server problem. X server version data: The XFree86 Project, Inc 40300000 You are using XFree 4.3.0. There are known problems with complex XKB configurations. Try using simpler configuration or taking more fresh version of XFree software. -- My XKB config isn't that complicated: Section "InputDevice" Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection
