I updated my system today and made the move to Xorg7 as well. libxklavier was updated, too. I mention this specifically as I've had the same problem a while ago.
On startup, GNOME pops up the following error 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
The same message appears if I manually load gnome-keyboard-properties in Window Maker. Last time I had this problem, an update of libxklavier fixed it ...
Outside of GNOME, the keyboard works fine. Any ideas? Is this a bug, or do I need to change my keyboard settings in xorg.conf? They are as follows, right now:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
Option "XkbLayout" "de_CH"
Option "XkbOptions" "compose:ralt"
EndSection
Any ideas?
