but i get the following error whenever i try to change any option in the menu > preferences > keyboard applet, under the layout tab.
Code: Select all
Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
• a bug in libxklavier library
• a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
• X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation
X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
11201902
If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
• The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
• The result of mateconftool-2 -R /desktop/mate/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
Code: Select all
bberg@mint:~$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "macintosh", "us", "mac", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "macintosh", "us", "mac", ""
bberg@mint:~$ mateconftool-2 -R /desktop/mate/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
model = macbook79
layouts = [us alt-intl]
options = [grp grp:shift_caps_toggle,lv3 lv3:win_switch,Compose key compose:ralt]
layout: language: english us, variant: english us alternative international
options: compose key: right alt
but it doesn't work. the right alt key functions just like the left one.
any ideas? maybe i'm missing some drivers?
i'm running lmde on a macbook air mid 2011.
