/var/log/Xorg.0.log has (EE) Couldn't open compiled keymap file /usr/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/server-0.xkm (EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap my xorg.conf is setup correctly. Your bugs ids we're very helpful and lead me to bug #85504 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85504 which pointed me to http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45385 which described a possible caused for this problem. The problem is that $ ls -l /usr/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 18 15:07 /usr/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp* but $ ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/xkbcomp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 435K Mar 9 11:42 /usr/bin/xkbcomp* ( Those files should be the same size ) cp'ing /usr/bin/xkbcomp to /usr/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp and restarting X resolved my problem.
