In my case, it was the same thing, but I had specified XkbdVariant "us"
I thought that "us" couldn't do any harm, can it? Well I had to uncomment the line completely to fix it. I had to uncomment this line as otherwise the keyboard was not working it all. Not completely related but this happened when I updated from lenny to squeeze. I lost eth0 and my keyboard so after the update nothing worked anymore. Lost two working days. The eth0 problem was due to broadcom being loaded after tg3 and the keyboard problem was described as above. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
