Yes, you'll need to install xkeyboard-config. Your xserver can't find the XKB rules, making keyboard configuration very difficult. If it's already installed, but in a different location, you'll to rebuild the server with an appropriate --with-xkb-path setting. -- Dan _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
