Hi there!
I've got a rather annoying problem on my debian unstable:
My keyboard layout is not set up properly under X, it behaves like an
"us" while it should be an "fr_CH". This of course results in the fact
that I cannot write umlauts, special characters like "at" or brackets or
any stuff like that. Alt-Gr doesn't work, etc.
I had the same problem on an other machine, where it was resolved by
running setxkbmap at X startup.
However, on my machine setxkbmap gives the following error:
juri@earth:~$ setxkbmap
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xb7fa1cc0 ***
Aborted
Well, I googled around without being able to find any solution, my
XF86Config is set up correctly.
What does he mean with "Use defaults: rules - 'xorg'", I don't
use Xorg?!
Also I fiddled around in /etc/X11/xkb/rules which didn't help anything
except me deleting all the files there. I reinstalled the xlibs and
xlibs-data, but the files are still missing. So if somebody would be so
kind to tar them up and send them to me, I would appreciate it.
Thanks on advance
Juri
