[...] > PASS: input > XKB: Failed to compile keymap > Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of > xkeyboard-config. > > Fatal server error: > Failed to activate core devices. > > Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support > at http://wiki.x.org > for help. > > FAIL: xtest This was discussed some time ago: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2013-03/msg00140.html It does seem like the xkeyboard-config data is not visible in its default search path. Apparently the X server can be started with “-xkbdir /path/to/xkeyboard-config/etc/X11/xkb”, which should solve the problem. There were also discussions about introducing an ‘XKBPATH’ env. var., but I’m not sure if it was accepted upstream: <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=324768>. Thanks, Ludo’.
