Fonts and XKB problems

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt]

Some more details about the Xkb issue:

I had XkbRules set to "xfree86", switched to "xorg" instead, same problem, except that I
now get an additional error from gnome on boot (see below).

I also tested the macintosh/us keymap that comes with xorg instead of my hacked "fr" one
and I have the same problem (both no VT switch _and_ the gnome error).

Gnome error is:

Error activating XKB configuration.
Probably internal X server problem.

X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
60800000
