setxkbmap - Error loading new keyboard description
Hi, I've just upgraded my Etch and now I can't change my keymap. Setxkbmap writes - 'Error loading new keyboard description'. It worked fine before I've upgraded it. Now it is impossible to use Win key or to write '&', ':' or '@' - here I've used copy - paste function Does anyone know where could the problem be?
I don't know why, but when I'd deleted the line 'Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"' from section InputDevice in xorg.conf, I could write !@#$% but the win key didn't work. When I'd deleted the line 'Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"', the winkey worked.
