Linux Question
Saturday, October 29th, 2005 04:16 pmI have a question for computer&Linux geeks.
Basically, after my last dist-upgrade, gnome (or debian?) refuses to adopt UK keyboard mapping and every time I try I get 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
X server version data:
The XFree86 Project, Inc
40300001
You are using XFree 4.3.0.
There are known problems with complex XKB configurations.
Try using a soimpler configuration or taking a more fresh version of XFree software."
So...any ideas how to fix? This is the newest version and my config hasn't been changed in years.
Do you think I should switch from XFree86 to Xorg?
Am I talking shit?
Help would be appreciated :)
--------
[Edit] All fixed! I purged XFree86 and moved to Xorg and when I broke it all horribly ben fixed it.
Winnar :D
Ta to skel and evad too - you may claim free chocolate when you next see me :P ;)
