Hi,

After checking this list, buzilla and google I haven't found solution of
my problem.

In case of a new install of Fedora Core 2 (so not an upgrade) if I add
the secondary keyboard layout (Hungarian) at the Keyboard Indicator
applet I get the following error window:

> Error activating XKB configuration.
> Probably internal X server problem.
>
> X server version data:

> - The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb

>From that time I get this error message after each gdm login (on each
user (root too) who tried to setup the keyboard layout).
Here is the suggested log from the error message:

> [root at giant X11]# xprop -root | grep XKB
>_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "", ""
>_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "", ""
>
> [root at giant X11]# gconftool-2 -R
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
> layouts = [us,hu       l2_102_qwerty_comma]
> model = pc105
> overrideSettings = false
> options = [grp grp:alt_shift_toggle]

Of course the secondary keyboard layout doesn't work. Any idea?
Thanks,

alpha
