[please cc me, i'm not subscribed] Hi,
I can't get an usb keyboard working in X in debian etch. The x is started from root user (not great i know). The keyboard works fine in virtual terminals. I've tried to manually compile the keymap, but the link get deleted on X start. setxkbmap -rules xfree86 -model pc105 -layout it -print > server-0 xkbcomp server-0 ln -s ~/server-0.xkm /var/lib/xkb/server-0.xkm This is the relevant configuration: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "it" EndSection These are the errors from /var/log/Xorg.0.log: (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Generic Keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD) xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compatibility { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc(pc105)+it" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" }; (II) Configured Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded xkb_types { include "%" }; xkb_compatibility { include "%" }; xkb_symbols { include "%" }; xkb_geometry { include "%" }; (EE) Error loading keymap /var/lib/xkb/server-0.xkm xkb_types { include "%" }; xkb_compatibility { include "%" }; xkb_symbols { include "%" }; xkb_geometry { include "%" }; (EE) Error loading keymap /var/lib/xkb/server-0.xkm thanks in advance -- Riccardo Magliocchetti -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
