Get rid of it. It's a remnant of the ancient past: # equery belongs /etc/X11/xkb [ Searching for file(s) /etc/X11/xkb in *... ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8 (/etc/X11/xkb -> ../../usr/lib/X11/xkb) Benno -- Cetere mi opinias ke ne ĉio tradukenda estas. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] xorg 7.0 upgrade questions
Hi. Here is line from my xorg.conf for switching keyboard layouts: Option "XkbOptions" "grp:win_switch,grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll" When I press caps lock key, scroll led lights up and caps led lights up too. Is there a way to make that things work with old behaivor (like in XOrg 6.8)? PS: sorry for my english -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] xorg 7.0 upgrade questions
For my K/V/M (keyboard, video, mouse) to all work snappy with the new Xorg, I made sure to include these items in my /etc/make.conf: INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse joystick" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia v4l vesa" My Logitech mouse was acting crappy until I added those lines. As always, YMMV. -Jeff Donnie Berkholz wrote: > James wrote: >> Still in /etc/X11/xkb the symbolic link flashes red >> indicated that /usr/lib/X11/xkb does not exit. > > I've never heard of /etc/X11/xkb, and I don't have it on my systems.

Install portage-utils and run `qlist -I x11-drivers` -- this should get installed if you have configured the INPUT_DEVICES variable properly in make.conf, or even if you left it blank (Assuming you aren't on a super-old profile). > and > 'Cannot open device /dev/input/mice No such file or dir' > > On the mouse issue 'ls /dev/input' shows only this dir: > by-path Sounds like your kernel's missing mouse support, or you've specifically configured udev to do something other than the default behavior. > On my other xorg 7.0 systems I get this: > # ls /dev/input > event0 event1 event2 mice mouse0 mouse1 Thanks, Donnie signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

If so delete them or make sure they point to directories under /usr/lib/xorg/modules. Otherwise post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] xorg 7.0 upgrade questions
Hello, I have successfully upgraded several gentoo systems, (workstations and laptops) to xorg-x11 7.0, without incident. On a clevo portable, I did the same thing, following: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml During the install, it hung upon xkb so it told me to remove: /usr/lib/X11/xkb I did what what suggested, thinking it would get rebuilt. I used 'equery belongs xkb' and rebuilt those packages: x11-apps/xkbcomp and x11-misc/xkeyboard-config Still in /etc/X11/xkb the symbolic link flashes red indicated that /usr/lib/X11/xkb does not exit. KDM will not fire up automactically. So I log in and run 'startx' and here are the errors I get: 'failed to load module "kbd" (modules does not exist, 0)' and 'Cannot open device /dev/input/mice No such file or dir' On the mouse issue 'ls /dev/input' shows only this dir: by-path On my other xorg 7.0 systems I get this: # ls /dev/input event0 event1 event2 mice mouse0 mouse1 I've hacked at this a while but not making any progress... Ideas? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
