I did an upgrade of FC1 -> FC3 on a P4, Intel845 board, Rage 128, PS2 
mouse and PS2 pc105 keyboard.

Trying to run the gnome desktop gives the error:

"Error activating XKB configuration"
"Probably internal X server problem"
"XServer version data: Xorg Foundation 60801000
"If you report this, include results of:
"	xprop -root | grep XKB"
"and    gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb"

The result of the 'xprop' is;
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING)="xorg","pc105","us","",""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING)="xorg","pc105","us","",""

Regarding the second command that is suggested, I assume it means to look 
in '~/.gconf/gnome/peripherals/keyboard.'
I notice there is only a 'xkb.backup' file there.

---------

Note, while I am not a 'KDB' user, that desktop runs just fine.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Thanks,
