Output of xkbcomp :0 -xkb out.xkb

Hello,

when enabling the option 'Make CapsLock an additional ESC' in gnome-keyboard-properties, the CapsLock key does act like the ESC key but the ESC key
doesn't do anything anymore.

Attached is the result of 
xkbcomp :0 -xkb out.xkb

The program also display the error : 
Warning:          Could not load keyboard geometry for :0
                  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
                  Resulting keymap file will not describe geometry

I don't know if this is relevant

This may be relevant. Usually it means XKB configuration was not properly made inside X.

But, just in case, could you please attach /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/capslock?

Sure, here it is.

Already fixed.

(actually in bug #19795, the second part is what you're talking about, and that was fixed in the last relase)
