Hi Dan,
Thanks for the response.
As you probably noted from my original email, I followed the instructions in
the link you provided. I still had problems, and hence the email.
My system is running the 1.2 with 'everything' installed. As part of
the comments on that page, I'm not seeing a '/var/gdm/:0' at all, so
it's hard to identify whether xkb is operational.
Actually, I'm so dumb right now, I couldn't tell you if I was running gnome
or not :-)
I did modify the /etc/X11/XF86Config as per the instructions and then
downloaded the new xkb files and installed them. Still no luck.
Any pointers?
thanks again.
