Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
- a bug in libxklavier library
- a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation

X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
10600000

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/kbd


$ xprop -root|grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "nodeadkeys", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "de", "", ""

$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = [de_AT.UTF-8]
 options = []
 model =

Comment 1 Mike Gahagan 2009-03-25 18:27:08 UTC
Here is another one from a KVM guest install, updated to today's rawhide.

[mike@localhost ~]$ cat *.out
 layouts = [en_US.UTF-8]
 options = []
 model = 
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "", ""
[mike@localhost ~]$ cat xprop.out 
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "", ""
[mike@localhost ~]$ cat gcpmftool.out 
 layouts = [en_US.UTF-8]
 options = []
 model = 

I think bz 491759 might be a dup of this bug (there are a few others as well)
