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? Last edited by Jaa; 09-08-2006 at 11:06 AM.

It works outside of X, in console. I am trying to temporarily use the colemak keyboard layout. Keyboard layout switchers don't work either. Does anyone have a solution for this? Sharing is caring?

The thing is the setxkbcomp converts these names to names of XKB configuration files according to files that are on the client side computer. Then it sends the file names to the server where the xkbcomp has to compose a complete keyboard map using files which the server has. Thus if the sets of files differ significantly the names that the setxkbmap generates can be unacceptable on the server side. You can solve this problem running the xkbcomp on the client side too. With the -print option setxkbmap just prints the files names in an appropriate format to its stdout and this output can be piped directly to the xkbcomp input. For example, a command setxkbmap us -print | xkbcomp - $DISPLAY makes both step on the same (client) machine and loads a keyboard map into the server. H
