Description burrelln 2004-01-12 18:39:19 UTC 
When starting Gnome, and when changing the settings in Keyboard
Preferences' Core Layout tab, I get an error dialog from XFree:

Error activating XKB configuration.
Probably internal X server problem.

X server version data:
The XFree86 Project, Inc
40300000
You are using XFree 4.3.0.
There are known problems with complex XKB configurations.
Try using simpler configuration or taking more fresh version of XFree software.

The system XKB conifguration (from XF86Config) is:

Section "InputDevice"
                                                                          
             Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "keyboard"
        Option      "XkbRules" "xfree86"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
        Option      "AutoRepeat" "250 30"
EndSection

The error dialog appears whenever "Ignore system configuration" is checked
or unchecked.

This is a build-time bug. Please configure with the correct value of
--with-xkb-base.
