[gentoo-catalyst] Switching keyboard layout error...

[Luca Casagrande]

Hi to all!
In my livecd, i am using gnome-light package; In the control center, i tried 
to switch the keyboard layout cause the one used during the boot, doesn't 
work with symbol like @,#, ecc..
When doing so, i got this error:

Error activating XKB configuration. 
 It can happen under various circumstances: 
 - a bug in libxklavier library 
 - a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities) 
 - X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation 
 
 X server version data: 
 The X.Org Foundation 
 70000000 
 
 If you report this situation as a bug, please include: 
 - The result of xprop -root | grep XKB 
 - The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd

Anyone got an idea about how can i solve this?

Some info on my livecd-stage2.spec:
subarch: i686
target: livecd-stage2
rel_type: default
profile: default-linux/x86/2006.0
snapshot: 20060814

livecd/fstype: squashfs
livecd/cdtar: /usr/lib/catalyst/livecd/cdtar/isolinux-3.09-memtest86+-cdtar.tar.bz2
livecd/xdm: gdm
livecd/xsession: icewm
livecd/gk_mainargs: --lvm2 --evms2 --unionfs-dev
boot/kernel/gentoo/use: pcmcia usb oss atm

Thanks
Luca

There's a certain point where just because it's a problem you encounter with a 
CD built with catalyst, it's not an issue for this list. This is probably past 
that point, but I'll help anyway.

It's likely that you don't have a complete X on your CD. What do you have in 
your livecd/packages? Also, why would you think the contents of your 
livecd-stage2.spec would be helpful? All the gnome/X stuff is emerged in 
livecd-stage1.

I found this on gentoo forum:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-462175.html

But I should do this using chroot...is this the only solution?

Thanks
