It is a well known problem, you should find the solution on
X11.aplications NG or on deja.com...
The problem comes from your upgrade of XFREE (i got the same problem at
home with my suse 6.3)
mais bon je te donne la soluce.
It comes from a bad link of the xkb directory
The Xfree upgrade puts it in the directory /var/state. The pervious
version of XFREE search it in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. You must remove the
old link with a simple "rm" and create a new one to the new good
directory with the line : ln -s /var/state/xkb /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
The tips is also given in "guide de survie de G. Delafond"
http://www.medsyn.fr/perso/g.delafond/survie.htm
7.23 La touche AltGr ne fonctionne plus après avoir installé XFree86
4.02 ou sans raison
Histoire vécue sur Mandrake 7.2, où setxkbmap refusait de fonctionner.
En fait, xkbcomp essayait d'écrire dans /usr/X1R6/lib/xkb/compiled , qui
est un lien
vers /var/state/xkb...qui n'existe pas.
Solution : créer un répertoire /var/state/xkb.
Si vous n'avez changé aucun réglage, vérifiez que setxkbmap se lance
bien. S'il refuse, il peut s'agir d'une partition /var (ou racine si
/var n'a pas sa propre
partition) pleine. Faites de la place. Dans ce cas, vous ne pouvez pas
afficher non plus vos pages de man.
sorry it's in french :-)
