Bug Description

From System>Preferences>Keyboard, I chose Macbook Pro, and then this bug report popped up:
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

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd

The result of the first:
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "mac", "lv3:ralt_switch"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "mac", "lv3:ralt_switch"

the result of the second:
layouts = []
 model = macbook78
 overrideSettings = true
 options = []

I'm running hardy on a Macbook pro, and up to date.

Thanks for reporting the bug. I've assigned this to the gnome-control-center package as that contains the keyboard properties application.

Hi falconbeak,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.
