Hi all,
My keyboard does not work in fvwm, GNOME or KDE after the most recent
update. No key response except the Fn+brightness-up and down.
I run 5.0-current on Thinkpad x201i. Thanks a lot for your help.
This is a known bug in xkb. As suggested on tech@:
_symbols_dir=/usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/symbols/srvr_ctrl/srvr_ctrl
mv ${_symbols_dir}/srvr_ctrl ${_symbols_dir}/_srvr_ctrl
mv ${_symbols_dir}/_srvr_ctrl/srvr_ctrl ${_symbols_dir}
rmdir ${_symbols_dir}/_srvr_ctrl
As also suggested on tech@, the file you are mv'ing here is not the
right version. You should remove the directory and reinstall xshare50.tgz.
The simplest way on a system where you have console access is to boot
the install kernel and select 'upgrade'.

Hello Norman, On 11/05/11 20:13, Norman Golisz wrote: ... since 5.0, xenocara uses xkeyboard-config instead of the old /etc/X11/xkb. In the last couple of days, some code has been changed in xkeyboard-config, however, and made keyboards in X non-functional, when the /usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/symbols/srvr_ctrl directory was present. This directory was removed and replaced by a bare file [1]. So, chances are, older versions are not affected on your netbook. Thx -- I suppose I missed the part with the single file. The keyboard works now under Xorg on current. Best Regards Andreas

I've noticed that the keyboard of an Asus EEE 701 also doesn't work with Xorg on current (I followed the steps from current.html). However, I didn't test any older versions of OpenBSD on this netbook. Does anybody know if this a known or a new problem with this model? I'm not aware of any specific problem to this model. Without more details it's hard to give you any useful advice. Also, normally, the install/upgrade script in binary snapshots includes code to remove the extra directory. If you upgraded by using bsd.rd and a snapshot, you should not be affected. -- Matthieu Herrb
