hallo, i recognized that the "german keyboard extensions" of Xfree 3.3 won't work when /usr is mounted readonly.
my system: Debian 1.3.1 XFree 3.3 /etc/X11/XF86Config with entry: XkbModel "pc102" XkbKeymap "xfree86(de)" XkbLayout "de" XkbVariant "nodeadkeys" X complains that it cannot use the "compliled keyboard map" (i don't have the exact message here). X tries to write into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compiled which is readonly. my suggestion is to link this directory to the /var file system, e.g. ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compiled /var/..???...compiled any comments, suggestions ? tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thomas Degner, Dept. of Physics, Sec.
