[Lilux-help] gentoo, xfree86 & keyboard layout

Hi, I ran myself into some stupid trouble with my notebook here. Thing is, I wanted to play around with the X.org X11 server a bit - this didn't work out too well (froze my system as soon as I tried to activate the driver for my synaptics touchpad), so I reverted to xfree86. Now it seems that the keymaps don't get loaded properly by the X11 server. Symptom is, I can't access any combinations with Alt-Gr, including such things as the pipe character or the @ (copy/pasted now), which is extremely irritating. I found the following in /var/log/XFree86.0.log: (II) Keyboard "Keyboard1" handled by legacy driver Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap (II) Server_Terminate keybinding not found When I try setting things manually using setxkbmap, I get the following: # setxkbmap -v -layout fr_CH Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout Using command line, ignoring X server Trying to build keymap using the following components: keycodes: xfree86+aliases(qwerty) types: complete compat: complete symbols: en_US(pc105)+fr_CH geometry: pc(pc105) Error loading new keyboard description If I try loading an US layout, it also fails. My /etc/X11/XF86Config says the following about the keyboard: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "Keyboard" Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "fr_CH" EndSection The keymaps / locales etc. for fr_CH are on the system: # ls -l `locate fr_CH` -r--r--r-- 1 root root 1202 Oct 16 15:16 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/sgi/fr_CH -r--r--r-- 1 root root 1457 Oct 16 11:26 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/fr_CH -r--r--r-- 1 root root 722 Oct 16 11:26 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh/fr_CH -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4524 Oct 17 12:34 /usr/share/i18n/locales/fr_CH -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 961 Aug 21 13:12 /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/fr_CH-latin1.map.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 903 Aug 21 13:12 /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/fr_CH.map.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 805 Aug 21 13:12 /usr/share/keymaps/mac/all/mac-fr_CH-latin1.map.gz I did some googling, found some hints, but nothing really working. Any ideas on how I could fix this? TIA, Eric
