Hello,
Yes I am aware this has been a reported problem, but nothing I have tried seems
to work. This is on a system that is NOT connected to the Internet, so direct
cut-n-paste is not possible.
Physical setup - (4) Dell OptiPlex 980, each with dual monitor setup with dual
switch boxes (one KVM box on each video output), DVI video output, USB mouse &
keyboard input. The "oldest" of these workstations is running an older cygwin
1.5 and it works just fine.
Cygwin/X Project
Release: 1.10.1.0
OS: Win XP SP3
Package: version 1.10.1-1 built 2011-04-22
I first experienced a problem with the download process when I ran setup and
select download w/o installing. No matter what location I selected it would go
to 99%, then hit an error. I was able to download individual sections without
error so that is what I did until I had everything.
Once installed I tried to run "startx" but it throws 2 pop up windows one after
another saying (1) "Failed to activate core device", (2) "Caught signal 11
(Segmentation fault) Server aborting.
Looking in the XWin.0.log shows:
(EE) XKB: Could not invoke xkbcomp
(EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
(EE) XKB: Failed to load keymap. Loading default keymap instead.
(EE) XKB: Could not invoke xkbcomp
(EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
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.
I then ran the following per the FAQ section:
cygcheck -c xkeyboard-config
Status - ok
/usr/bin/xkbcomp
Error: No input file specified
cygcheck /usr/bin/xkbcomp
Returned 13 results - 1 exe, and 12 dll
ash rebaseall
Nothing seemed to change with cygwin, but most all of the files in the user
directory for Exceed disappeared.
IE - \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Hummingbird
Connectivity\9.00\Exceed\....
Most of the *.kbf & *.kbt files were erased. ??????
I was able to restore these from another copy on the system, it was just
strange.
Any additional help would be great. It looks to be related to the error when I
try to run xkbcomp, but IDK.
