Hi, all ---
Hope I'm not beating a dead horse, but has anyone else gotten the error "Error loading new keyboard description" when executing command:
<code>
setxkbmap -device 4 -I -I/usr/share/X11/xkb-chinook -rules base -model pc105 -layout us
</code>
?
Just for background:
- I am attempting this with a Think Outside Stowaway keyboard
- I can pair with the keyboard normally -- I just get usual behavior of only being able to type letters, period, and comma.
- Keyboard shows up on list of keyboards shown in "hildon-im-xkbtool --list" command
- I have downloaded and untar'd the Chinook xkb tar as root.
- I have copied over all files that existed in the Chinook setup that did not exit in the Freemantle setup (with -i) as root.
- When I try the setxkbmap command with the "xkb" directory as the target, it seems to succeed (no error messages). However, I still can't type all the letters on the (still connected) Stowaway. (This is done as user).
- When I try it on the "xkb-chinook" directory, I get the error above. (also as user).
Anyone get this behavior? Anyone able to fix it? Feels like I am so close to getting this working... dratted last step syndrome...
Thanks,
Sam
