Hey all,

I just installed the ATI proprietary drivers (I have a Radeon 9800Pro 256MB AGP 8x card) on my FC2 install. It installed a new xorg.conf and now I'm getting this error every time I start up after I login:

Error activating XKB configuration.
Probably internal X server problem.

X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
60700000

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb


X starts fine, no problems there. I'm just curious where the problem lies. The result of xprop -root | grep XKB is:

_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc101", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc101", "us", "", ""


The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb is:

layouts = [us]
model = pc105
overrideSettings = false
options = []

I ran both as root (su). If you need, I can also post my xorg.conf file. I appreciate your insight.

Looks like X thinks you have a 101 key keyboard, and gnome thinks you have a 105 key keyboard. Maybe this is the cause of your problem. Which do you actually have?

I have Ideazon's zBoard USB Gaming Keyboard...

According to ideazon.com, "The Standard Keyset is based on the traditional 108-key layout". I've never tried using the custom keysets when I'm running Linux... Is the 108 key layout something I need to define in my xorg.conf file? Thanks.

(I probably should have mentioned the type of keyboard I have in my first post... Just chalk that one up to me being more or less a ...

Update: I do see what you're saying though... I suppost I should change my xorg.conf to "us105" from "us101" and/or OverrideSettings to true...
