I got the same problem on my box when I want to select a Korean keyboard map.

On the console:

(EE) Error loading keymap /var/tmp/server-0.xkm
Error loading new keyboard description
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error:            Can't find file "pc/ko" for symbols include
>                   Exiting
>                   Abandoning symbols file "default"
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

xprop -root | grep XKB

_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "nodeadkeys", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "", ""

gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb

 layouts = [us,ko]
 model = pc105
 overrideSettings = false
 options = []

Problem happens with Xorg 6.7.0 and XFree86 4.4.0
It doesn't depends of wm (Gnome 2.6.1 and KDE 3.2.3 failed to load the map)
Yeah, the pc/ko file doesn't exist but it didn't exist on XFree86 4.3.0 and it
was not a problem.

IMHO:
Before Xfree86 4.4/Xorg 6.7.0, there was no direct korean mapping included in X,
I mean I have to use an Input Method and the one of Gnome 2.4 was pretty nice
for this. On any gnome/Gtk application I could use
right_click->Input_Methods->Hangul
But there was no mapping accessible from KDE.

With Xorg, it seems there is support for korean. KDE suggests korean mapping,
Gnome too via the keyboard property.
The first problem is it can not be used without getting the bug described here.
The main problem is there is no more hangul input method in gnome application
and I suspect it comes from Xorg too.

Actually, I have no more way to input korean except using specific applications.

I wonder if these problems are somewhere connected, the bug from Xorg and the
input method support from Gnome.

I already tried all the fixes suggested in some forums/bugzilla (RedHat,
Dropline, Linuxquestions...) and nothing work.

If there is a xkb/symbols/pc/ko somewhere, please say me. I'm in trouble to
maintain my french-korean website.

Regards,

PS: Hangul is the name of the korean alphabet.
