Public bug reported:
HI, I am in the process of transfering from windows and have a wierless
microsoft multimidia keyboard, I tried changing the keyboard settings but
nothing helps, I tried setting up the onscreen keyboard but it wont work (my
mouse pointer just goes to the center of the screen each time so my easy
solution is useless), I tried connecting the keyboard to the normal keyboard
conector rather than the USB but when I do the only time I can use my keyboard
is at the login (passw and name) it wont work when I get the choice between
windows and ubuntu and most of all it wont work once inside ubuntu after login
in (the mouse doesnt work at all in any of these cases) I tried when I first
sent up Ubuntu to fix this problem by reinstalling the hole thing but no
good!One of the missing caracters being the at sign means I cant even wright
emails, I was finaly able to find a site on the net from wich I could cut and
paste it and finally be able to send this report :-)
((also how do I find software conflicts?))
every time I start up ubuntu and when I modifie keyboard layout I get the
following message:
Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
- a bug in libxklavier library
- a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation
X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
70000000
If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
RESULTS:
xprop -root | grep XKB:
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc104", "belgian", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc104", "belgian", "", ""
gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd:

Thank you for your help and patience.
