Comment 30 for bug 95886

I had the same problem after upgrading to hardy from dapper, with the upgrade manager on a no CD-ROM PIII HP vectra:

Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
- a bug in libxklavier library
- a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation

X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
10400090

I did:

setxkbmap pt to solve it

here is my:
xprop -root | grep XKB

_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "PT-pt", "pt-pt", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "pt", "", ""

and my;
gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd

 layouts = []
 model =
 options = [eurosign eurosign:e,compat numpad:pc]
 overrideSettings = true

---

setxkbmap pt

worked for my portuguese 105 keyboard.

(I'm also removing English language support from languages support, and also SCIM)
