[SOLVED] "Couldn't load XKB keymap..." after updat

After a recent "pacman -Syu" my keymap seemed to have reverted to a US one. I then found the following warning in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

(WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap

Also, setxkbmap dies in an ugly way:

[gval@a12a usr]$ setxkbmap fi
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'

This could however be caused by bad syntax, since I haven't used setxkbmap before.

I am running the latest modular xorg and have the following keyboard section in xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "keyboard"
        Driver      "keyboard"
        Option      "CoreKeyboard"
        Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option "XkbLayout" "fi"
        Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: [SOLVED] "Couldn't load XKB keymap..." after updat

Try changing xfree86 to xorg in XkbRules - I had some keyboard problems too, and that worked.

Where is that file? Since xorg7 I have some keyboard issues, gnome is complaining about, and I have strange keysets.

[pressh@pressh_box ~]$ sudo slocate -u
[pressh@pressh_box ~]$ slocate xorg.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

In xorg.conf search for xkbrules

I do have "xorg" as xkbrule:

Section "InputDevice"
    # Logitech Elite keyboard (MX700 Duo)
    Identifier  "LogitechMX700Duo_clavier"
    #Driver      "kbd"
    Driver      "evdev"
    Option      "Device"      "/dev/input/mx700duo_clavier"
    Option      "XkbRules"    "xorg"
    Option      "XkbModel"   "pc105"
    Option      "XkbLayout"  "ca(fr)"
EndSection

Any idea?
