Hi team. I'm trying to debug a recent commit to Linus's git repo
that causes startx to halt with a complaint that it can't write a
.xkm file to /var/lib/xkb.
I'm assuming that the message is from xkbcomp, but I can't find
where in the startx process that xkbcomp is run, or what else might
produce such an error message. I'd like to reproduce the error by
running xkbcomp manually so I can track it down.
startx runs Xorg, Xorg forks & execs xkbcomp:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/xkb/ddxLoad.c
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/xkb/ddxList.c
It is not pretty in the slightest, and replacing the fork/exec with calls
to libxkbcommon has been on our todo list for quite a while.
