Description of problem: I think there is some problem with xkeyboar-config-1.9-1.fc14 package. When I installed previous version build 1.8.1-6.fc13, its working fine. While adding few xkb maps from India say Hindi Wx, Hindi Bolnagari, I got following error message ====================================================================== 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: Fedora Project 10900000 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 ========================================================================== Here is output for "xprop -root | grep XKB" _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105+inet", "us", "", "" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105+inet", "us", "", "grp:shift_caps_toggle" Here is output for "gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd" layouts = [us,in bolnagri] options = [grp grp:shift_caps_toggle] model = Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xkeyboard-config-1.9-1.fc14.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select India as country while adding new keymap 2. Try to add Hindi Bolnagri map 3. Observe error message after you clicked on "Add" button Actual results: Unable to use or select maps in panel Expected results: Should add maps without error message and able to change and use them Additional info:
For now adding F14Target.
Upstream has already fixed this in upstream commit http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/commit/?id=393204e792de332457b1175b3831170d6970a98f
I believe this affects any layout that includes symbols/nbsp (non-break space).
Created attachment 451345 [details] Fix error for activating Indic maps Note: I added only Indic maps patch but there can be other country maps that needs fix as well as already done for ir maps in 1.9-2 build
