Hello everybody,
when changing the keyboard via
setxkbmap de
I often (not always!) get errors like this:
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xfree86' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
Error loading new keyboard description
while the keyboard remains unchanged. After some repetitions of 'setxkbmap
de',
the keyboard IS changed, sometimes with, sometimes without a keyboard
loading
error.
My configuration:
Windows XP Professional Version 2002 (5.1.2600 Build 2600)
cygwin-1.3.13-2
XFree86-base-4.2.0-1
XFree86-bin-4.2.0-2
Regards,
Thomas
