XKB issues and something else

[Christoffer Olsen]

Howdy,

I'm really pleased with what I've seen of the xserver this far. Things
run smoothly, and IMHO there's a better feel to it all than with XFree
4.3.99 as my distribution pre-supplied.

My only problem this far, except from ati drivers and/or fbdev drivers
being a bit untamed (vesa does the job now, no need for acceleration
yet, although it would be cool. DRI didn't like being compiled, either),
is that the XKB extension is not found by GNOME. It tells me that the
extension just isn't there (the error message isn't anything special,
there's just that it says XKB is unavailable, and I don't want to change
terminals, because that has made the server die :P ). The result is that
I get my console keymap, which is a tad annoying. Of course I can change
it from there, but it's not a solution to the problem.
So, is XKB just unexistant or nonworking (I think I saw it in the source
tree though), or could someone please point me in the right direction of
where to find something to hack on? Or might it be GNOME that is not
compliant with what it should be?

The "something else" is just that I wanted to tell you that everything
regarding the xserver compiles perfectly using distcc
(distcc.samba.org). There shouldn't be problems, but sometimes there
are, and now there weren't. I hope it stays that way.
