From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: Tried to adjust Preferences -> Keyboard Preferences -> Layout Options to add CAPS LOCK as extra control. Gives error dialog with text as below when "Add" is clicked. Two windows with error dialog in fact. I'm including response of commands as requested. The keyboard configuration indeed has no effect. NB: this happened on a clean install but using a home directory from an install of Fedora Core 1, so there is a possiblity of some left over XFree or GNOME configuration file causing this problem. I have no .xmodmaprc file, I'm not sure where else to look. Another machine which has had a clean install of FC2test3, with fresh home directory, does *not* exhibit this problem. ------------------------------------- Error activating XKB configuration. Probably internal X server problem.

FC2test3 login, Hat -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layout Options tab 2. Choose something from the list, click Add 3. Dialog as above, no effect on keyboard Additional info:
Seeing this similar errors both on FC2 upgraded from test1 installation and on fresh rawhide install done today (under VMware 4.5.1). First login for either root or a user generated many (~6 to 8 - neglected to count) of these windows. Subsequent logins generate one. xorg-x11-6.7.0-2 Error in pop-up windows differs somewhat from above: Error activating XKB configuration. Probably internal X server problem.

The X server config file is not "XF86Config", that is the XFree86 config file. We use X.org X11 now, which uses the config file xorg.conf Please review the bug I am duping this against for further information. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 120858 ***
