Hi, as you can read in the subject, running e.g. setxkbmap us will kill X totally.
I don't see any core dumped or similar. What can be the problem? Here you are my dmesg (an "zzz" froze the laptop and I had to power it off) and xorg.conf But X crashed also when not using an xorg.conf (i.e., running it "on the fly)
