================================
RESULTS from running the 1st command follow:
[root@xxx root]# xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", ""
================================
RESULTS from running the 2nd command follow:
[root@xxx root]# gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
 layouts = [us]
 model = pc105
 overrideSettings = false
 options = []
=================================

This seems to be there for a while. I didn't do a clean install but
just upgrade to the rawhide. Shall this bug block issue 114961?

Comment 3 Ling Li 2004-04-28 04:11:30 UTC
This is a duplicate of bug 120858. The solution there (comment #42,
updating packages & removing XkbRules line) works for me, though the
libxklavier-devel package seems unnecessary to me and
`system-config-display --reconfig' gave the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xconf.py", line 412, in ?
    hardware_state.merge_into(xconfig)
NameError: name 'hardware_state' is not defined

[The package versions are exactly the same as in comment #41 of bug
120858.)
