The first one says that it is some error in Xorg itself, fixed in
more recent versions.
The second one suggests that you may have a mistaken symlink
somewhere as a result of downgrading.
The last one found this as a workaround:
setxkbmap -keycodes xfree86 -types default -symbols
en_US(pc105)+de -geometry pc(pc102)
I tried it:
setxkbmap -keycodes xfree86 -types default -symbols en_US(pc105)+de
-geometry pc(pc102)
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
Error loading new keyboard description
What does it means? I generated the default config file with the
new xorgconfig... It must write already the right rules...
Please post the relevant section of your xorg.conf again, plus the
output of 'setxkbmap -print'.

So the lv3 stuff works something like this: alt+; then letter gives right accented letter alt+[ then letter gives umlauted letter alt+] then letter gives tilded letter alt+' then letter gives hatted letter There's a different set called compose rather than lv3 that will give you composed things, compose+letter then ' gives accented letter, etc. It's sort of a more logical model. Look in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/compose for xkb_symbols instead for its possible buttons. Thanks, Donnie signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

You restarted X after adding the lv3 thing to xorg.conf? You can try this to avoid restarting X: setxkbmap -layout de -option compose:menu,lv3:ralt_switch That will set up things so composing uses the menu (windows) key, and level3 uses right alt. I don't understand, why if it's worked today (with xorg 6.8) now doens't work more? How can I set like before? It must be a file that overwrite the xorg.conf configuration... The XKB setup changed significantly between 6.8 and 7.0 -- lots of things that used to work no longer do. You need to figure out the new way to do whatever you used to do.
