Hi, Using XFree86 4.2.0 (as distributed by Slackware 8.1 (kernel 2.4.18)) The XKB settings are: Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc102" Option "XkbLayout" "se" This works fine when starting X under /root (super user). However, when starting X under a "normal" user I get the following error: The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: >Error bad length in Symbols > Output file "/var/tmp/server-0.xkm" removed ........ falling back to pre XKB keymap Just can't figure out what's the difference. Any one having an idea. Hans.
