keyboard mapping error

[Dwijadas Dey]

Hi
    All
          I have downgraded xorg 1.7.99.2 to 1.7.7 and the first
warning about kbd driver has gone

       >> (WW) module ABI major version (7) doesn't match the server's
version (8)
and  xorg log is now

.....
.....
(**) Option "CoreKeyboard"
(**) Keyboard0: always reports core events
(**) Option "Protocol" "standard"
(**) Keyboard0: Protocol: standard
(**) Option "XkbRules" "base"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbRules: "base"
(**) Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbModel: "pc105"
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "us"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbLayout: "us"
(**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off"
(**) Keyboard0: CustomKeycodes disabled
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard0" (type: KEYBOARD)
(EE) Error loading keymap
/usr/local/xkeyboard-config-2.0/share/X11/xkb/compiled/server-0.xkm

........
........
so i manually created the file server-0.xkm

[root at localhost log] setxkbmap -rules base -model pc104 -layout us
-print > server-0

and then compiled it by
[root at localhost log] xkbcomp server-0

[root at localhost ~]# cat server-0
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)"       };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us" };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"     };
};

and then copied the  file server-0.xkm
cp -f server-0.xkm /usr/local/xkeyboard-config-2.0/share/X11/xkb/compiled

Now when i start X  xorg log file says
(EE) Error loading keymap
/usr/local/xkeyboard-config-2.0/share/X11/xkb/compiled/server-0.xkm

if i do ls -l on the directory
/usr/local/xkeyboard-config-2.0/share/X11/xkb/compiled then i find
that server-0.xkm is not there.


Any valueable inputs will be appreciated
Thanks
