Hello,
I encountered a problem with setxkbmap. I connect from Cygwin, start
afterstep and issue "setxkbmap de". This gives an error. A different
call with parameters taken from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree86
works, though:
$ setxkbmap -v 9 de
Setting verbose level to 9
locale is C
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout -
'us'
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout
Using command line, ignoring X server
setxkbmap in free(): warning: junk pointer, too high to make sense
Applied rules from xorg:
model: pc101
layout: de
options: t???~?????????
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: xfree86+aliases(qwertz)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc/pc(pc101)+pc/de
geometry: pc(pc101)
Error loading new keyboard description
It does however work correctly with
setxkbmap -v 10 -keycodes "xfree86" -types "default"
-symbols "en_US(pc105)+de" -geometry "pc(pc102)"
