[gentoo-user] Couldn't load XKB keymap...

[Nicolai Beuermann]

Hello,
I've got a big problem after updating world. My Keyboard - Apple Extended USB 
Keyboard - refused to print german umlauts, AT and euro symbol.

Xorg.0.log: (WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
setxkbmap quits reliably with "Error loading new keyboard description"

$ setxkbmap -v 10 -model macintosh -layout de
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard model
         Using command line, ignoring X server
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout
         Using command line, ignoring X server
Applied rules from xorg:
model:      macintosh
layout:     de
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes:   macintosh+aliases(qwertz)
types:      complete+numpad(mac)
compat:     complete
symbols:    pc+macintosh_vndr/de+inet(apple)
geometry:   macintosh(macintosh)
Error loading new keyboard description

Any known bugs or even solutions?

I had the same problem, "emerge -1 xorg-server" solved it. Maybe that'll
work for you too.

Cheers, Emil

Search for setxkbmap on the bug server. A missing link
on installation is the problem. We're waiting for a patch.

Emerging xorg set me on the right track.
Xorg-server didn't want to compile. Googling around some posts reminded me 
of /etc/portage/packages.mask and how I masked the latest xorg server because 
of nvidia issues.
Unmasking it resolved my problem with the keyboard.
After reemerging x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev my Apple Mouse works again.

Ahoy
Nico
