Hi everyone,

I've got xkeyboard-config installed to /opt/xserver-xir-install,
however I'm still getting the following errors

(EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
(WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap

(That's what I got when I did cat
/opt/xserver-xir-install/var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep XKB)

Is it possible that X.org is using a keymap from an older version of X
in /usr/share?
