Bug#435684: xserver-xorg: Error activating XKB configuration
Hi Brice, I'm frustrated with upgrades and Debian.

I *can* upgrade the X packages to testing or unstable, but I *don't want to*, given the current track record. e.g. the fact that upgrading will bring down a ton of other ***unnecessary dependencies that could have been avoided if the testing packages had been compiled against the minimum dependencies (http://www.mkgnu.net/?q=node/103) of the software. Not to mention that for the past 4 years after I start X if I switch back to a text console the text looks jagged, permanently (but not if the system is just booting). At this point I want things to work as expected. It was working with Debian 3.0. It should work now. > > Section "InputDevice" > > Identifier "Generic Keyboard" > > Driver "kbd" > > Option "CoreKeyboard" > > Option "XkbRules" "xorg" > > Option "XkbModel" "pc104" > > Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak" > > Option "XkbVariant""dvorak" > > EndSection > > > > Does it help if you comment XkbLayout and XkbVariant out?

(unrelated) I just removed it. Of course, *I* never added those modules there. The X tools did.

Fair enough, just keep it in mind when you will be packaging 4.3. To add tothe madness, the xmodmap line works just fine when I unplug the usb to ps-2 v-cable from which I connect an external keyboard and mouse to the laptop.

That's exactly the case.
