I honestly have no idea on what's happening there, JustNick.

First time hearing about your problem in quite awhile.

We all encountered the exact same thing you're describing, but that was like a year and a half ago.

Oh, and the "Sorry - server Keyboard map doesn't contain either 2 or 4 KeySyms per Keycode - unsupported!" is nothing. We all get the same message and it's completely unimportant. Don't even worry about that.

Best I can offer is to uninstall Xkbd, Ruby, Rubybox, and Dosbox. Keep Unzip if you have that though.

Then head over to Ukki's page and fire up the one click install. I'm thinking maybe you picked up an older version of Xkbd when you grabbed it from the extras repository.
Rubybox

Try that and post back when you have the chance.

Cheers.
