Hi, On my latest build of Xorg-7.6, the server refuses to startup issuing the following error:
(EE) Couldn't open compiled keymap /tmp/server-0.xkm XKB: Failed to compile keymap That immediately struck me as odd as the following option is passed to Xorg-Server's configure command: --with-xkb-output=/var/lib/xkb It turns out that if you want to start X as non-root, then permissions on /var/lib/xkb need to be such that a non-root user can write to it. Changing perms to 0777 were enough to get the following error instead: (EE) Couldn't open compiled keymap /var/lib/xkb/server-0.xkm XKB: Failed to compile keymap Not much of an improvement, but at least it's pointing at the correct directory now. So, any ideas how to fix this? I've recompiled xkeyboard-config, checking that xkbcomp is in /usr/bin, etc. all of which is mentioned at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg09029.html. Other google hits suggest disk space could be a culprit, but I've got plenty left here. Thanks for any help!
