I guess this question must have been asked thousands of times on the list, but I just can find the proper answer, so any pointers to previous messages are as welcomed as answers themselves! I am having problems with xkb after upgrading from a debian unstable system to an up to date breezy. After fighting with deinstallation and reinstallation of the Xorg infrastructure, with some links pointing to wrong places and so on I got the X server up and running but xkb fails to load with the following message: Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap which messes up my Swedish keyboard. I've seen that it could be a problem with permissions, so here goes the contents of /etc/X11/xkb/ /etc/X11/xkb# ls -la total 140 drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Aug 11 14:56 . drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Sep 13 11:07 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 983 Jul 20 19:37 README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7432 Aug 10 11:09 README.config -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23337 Jul 20 19:37 README.enhancing drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 11 14:56 compat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 689 Jul 20 19:37 compat.dir lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Aug 11 14:55 compiled -> /var/lib/xkb drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Aug 11 14:56 geometry -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1965 Aug 10 11:09 geometry.dir drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Aug 11 14:56 keycodes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2284 Aug 10 11:09 keycodes.dir drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Aug 11 14:56 keymap -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8576 Jul 20 19:37 keymap.dir drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 11 14:56 rules drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 11 14:56 semantics drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 8192 Aug 11 14:56 symbols -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29059 Aug 10 11:09 symbols.dir drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 11 14:56 types -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 463 Jul 20 19:37 types.dir lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Aug 11 14:55 xkbcomp -> /usr/X11R6/bin/xkbcomp and inside keycodes: ls -la total 104 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Aug 11 14:56 . drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Aug 11 14:56 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 435 Jul 20 19:37 README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2192 Jul 20 19:37 aliases -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3546 Jul 25 13:46 amiga -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1988 Jul 25 13:46 ataritt drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 11 14:56 digital drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 28 09:26 digital_vndr -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3773 Jul 25 13:46 fujitsu -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5024 Jul 25 13:46 hp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3200 Jul 25 13:46 ibm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3643 Jul 25 13:46 macintosh -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2293 Jul 25 13:46 powerpcps2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2249 Jul 20 19:37 riscpc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 11 14:56 sgi drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 28 09:26 sgi_vndr -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3009 Jul 25 13:46 sony -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13840 Jul 25 13:46 sun -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8656 Jul 20 19:37 xfree86 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3351 Jul 25 13:46 xfree98 My entry in xorg.conf is as follows: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "kbd" Option "AutoRepeat" "500 300 Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "se" EndSection Any idea on what can be wrong?
