[K12OSN] XFree86 4.3

[Adam Melancon]

I've seen this before and I found the answer...  I posted what I found here:
http://www.brlug.net/pipermail/ltsp_brlug.net/2004-October/000014.html


I would get "error activating xkb configuration" when logging into a
terminal.
Found the answer here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120858
I solved this by simply adding a symlink in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules:

ln -s xorg.lst xfree86.lst

Temporary, sure, but setxkbmap is happy again.

Enjoy!
