Description Marshall Boykin 2004-04-14 09:24:28 UTC

Error after using "yum" to update Fedora core 2 test 2 on April, 14 2004
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 
[root@Fedora-C2-T2 root]# xprop -root | grep XKB 
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", "" 
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", "" 
 
 
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb 
[root@Fedora-C2-T2 root]# gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
layouts = [us] 
 model = pc105 
 overrideSettings = false 
 options = []

Comment 1 Stéphane Loeuillet 2004-04-16 11:32:00 UTC

change 'xfree86' to 'xorg' in your /etc/X11/xfree86.conf (or /etc/X11/xorg.conf
if you renamed your old one)

replace
    Option "XkbRules"   "xfree"
by
    Option "XkbRules"   "xorg"

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2004-04-17 08:43:29 UTC

This problem is reported in our Red Hat bugzilla multiple times also, and
I tracked the problem down a couple days ago to the same issue.  The
XkbRules line can just be removed from the X server config file entirely
and then the built in default gets used, which is a better solution I believe.

So this bug is actually not an X.org bug, but a config file misconfiguration.
The Red Hat config tools are updated now to not put this line in the config
file.

Closing bug as 'INVALID' as bugzilla does not have a "NOTABUG" resolution.
