Bug description:
After upgrading to Edgy Eft, the Polish symbols disapeared when I write.
However, they are properly displayed at the menus, web pages, etc.. During
logging in, the system showed an error message:
"There is an error of configuration activation of the XKB. This could be caused
by:
- error in libxklavier, or X serwera (tools xkbcomp, xmodmap), or serwer X is
not comptible with libxkbfile implementation.
Version of serwer X:
The X.Org Foundation
70101000"
The error message also suggests to run:
ra...@domowy:~$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "pl", "qwerty",
"lv3:ralt_switch"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "pl", "qwerty", "lv3:ralt_switch"
and
ra...@domowy:~$ gconftool-2 -R
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
layouts = []
model =
overrideSettings = true
options = []

A correct solution requires that Preferences > keyboard (or a similar GUI
configuration tool) set the keyboard correctly, without requiring editing of
xorg.conf. Possibly it will need changed to not update gconf but rather update
the xorg.conf file directly.
This problem sometimes is caused by a new xorg that doesn't support the
selected XkbVariant for the configured keyboard layout, and the upgrade program
doesn't reconfigure xorg.conf (or whatever) correctly to switch to the proper
layout.
