[XFree86] X terminal keyboard problem
Hi,
I helped a local school set up a Linux computer lab with X terminals.
Everything is working fine but for one thing: changing keyboard layouts
(I need ee and ru) does not work. In fact, even the keyboard layout
specified in the XF86Config file does not work (falls back to pre XKB
keymap).
The terminals mount / and /usr from a server. I have checked an double
checked, and /usr/X11R6/lib/xkb and related directories (in Debian they
are symlinked to /etc/X11) are visible in the terminal filesystem.
X is version 4.3 and the system is Debian unstable.
Here are some symptoms:
* (run from X client side) setxkbmap ee fails to load the new keymap
with an error along the lines of "Failed to load new keymap"
* (run from X client side) setxkbmap ee -print | xkbcomp -
192.168.0.222:0 however works
* (run from X client side) running setxkbmap -print produces this:
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat{ include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc/pc(pc105)+pc/ee"};
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
which is strange because it claims using an Estonian layout while in
fact it is not (fell back to US)
* running xkbcomp from the terminal (X server side) also works
* XKB extension is loaded (at least the log file says so)
I am very much out of ideas and would be very happy if someone could
offer something to try.
Thank you,
L.

Re: [XFree86] could not open default font 'fixed'
What is in the "Files" Section of your XF86Config (should be /etc/X11/XF86Config-4) L.

Maybe 75dpi or 100dpi. Look at all the subdirs (and if this fails, all other places where you have fonts installed) and scan the contents of fonts.dir file. This file contains the font names, sizes and other such information for the files in the relevant directory. Somewhere you should find information about the font "fixed". Just add that directory to the list (FontPath "/some/directory") In the other case, X gets all of its fonts from a font server, which is entirely different piece of software. It is most probably called xfs and its config file should be somewhere in /etc/X11 - maybe /etc/X11/xfs/xfs.conf or similar. The file syntax is a little bit different, but the idea is the same - find the place on your hard disk, where the fixed font actually is (/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ in teh case of Debian) and add that directory to the list.

Hi, > (II) I740: Driver for Intel i740 chipset: i740 (agp), i740 (pci) [snip] > (EE) No devices detected. What graphics chipset are you using. X tries to use the i740 driver, but it fails to detect any devices - this most probably means you are using the wrong driver or an unsupported chipset. L.
