From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: installed Fedora Core 2. ran yum -y update (21.May04 07:30 Eastern). On boot this error appears: (everything appears to be working!!) 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 --------- here is the requested info: # xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", "" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", "" # # gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb layouts = [us] model = pc105 overrideSettings = false options = [] # Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. restart system 2. 3. Actual Results: get window with error message. Click "OK" everything seems to be runnign fine. Expected Results: don't get error message Additional info:
I get the same messages. Select Close and it comes back. Selecting Close again gets rid of the message. Same output from xprop and gconftool. When I try changing the keyboard model (doesn't matter which one I select), the error will reappear immediately. The keyboard, however, is functional.
Take a look at bug 122454. It has more information and links to other bugs that have fixes. Looks like you need to remove the line 'option Xkbrules "xfree86"' from your XF86Config file.
FYI, I had the same issue on two very different home-grown PCs (one motherboard is ASUS and the other ABIT) that had been upgraded from FC1 to FC2. When I applied the above suggestion to /etc/X11/XF86Config, both PCs ceased showing that error popup. Thanks.
Encountered this bug after FC1/FC2 upgrade on IBM A21p, manual creation of xorg.conf from XF86Config after system-config-display failed, and applying /dev/input/mice workaround for BZ 120859. The XKB popup error window appeared 9 times on first attempt to "startx" into Gnome from runlevel 3. No errors in KDE. The removal of 'Option "Xkbrules" "xfree86"' workaround made the errors go away.

I just installed FC2 on my machine and am having this problem. The /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not contain the XKbrules "xfree86" line it. I see the error only when I log in as a non root user. I'm up to date as far as yum is concerned. Here is the output requested on the error screen: -- [root@localhost root]# xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "", "" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "", "" [root@localhost root]# gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb layouts = [us] model = pc105 overrideSettings = false options = [] [root@localhost root]# -- And here are the relevant uncommented lines from my xorg.conf: -- Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection -- So what else could be causing this?
