I set up Norwegian (I've tried with danish as well), and in the

Here XFree86.log reported something about not being able to load the XKB map. Pasting that exact line in Google gave me the following explanation:

Bugged keyboard alias file in xlibs-data (usually after an xlibs upgrade).



I had a clean installation of sid and later a clean installation of sarge. so I dont understand why xlibs-data should be corrupted


How I solved it:

dpkg -P --force-depends xbase-clients xlibs xlibs-data
rm -r /etc/X11/xkb
apt-get install xbase-clients xlibs xlibs-data

Now everything works as before and, actually, even better: Gswitchit
(a.k.a. GNOME Keyboard Preferences capplet) finally works.



installing the packages from http://people.debian.org/~joss/packages/ solved the problem.


Which keyboard layout are you using ?
