mdg Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 I tried to recompile the kernel (9.2rc2 2.4.22-6mdk) and ran into various problems. Decided to return to the default kernel and made changes accordingly: Uninstalled and re-installed kernel sources - I had problems with different kernel headers urpme kernel-source urpmi kernel-source Copied defconfig to .config cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/defconfig /usr/src/linux.config Checked that syslinks vmlinuz config initrd.img kernel.h System.map all pointed to the correct kernel version (2.4.22-6mdk) Edited lilo.conf (I'm booting from a different Mdk partition. 9.2 is on hda9) image=/mnt/mdkroot/boot/vmlinuz label="Mdk92" root=/dev/hda9 initrd=/mnt/mdkroot/boot/initrd.img append="quiet noapic devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=off" vga=788 read-only Everything starts up with no errors and brings me to init:3. Install the Nvidia drivers sh downloads9.2/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run Nvidia install without a hitch exit startx Nvidia screen flashes and I get a pageful of errors, all very similar to this excerpt: The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Warning: Symbol map for key <ESC> redefined > Using last definition for conflicting fields > Warning: Symbol map for key <TLDE> redefined > Using last definition for conflicting fields > Warning: Symbol map for key <AE01> redefined > Using last definition for conflicting fields > Warning: Symbol map for key <AE02> redefined > Using last definition for conflicting fields > Warning: Symbol map for key <AE03> redefined > Using last definition for conflicting fields > Warning: Symbol map for key <AE04> redefined > Using last definition for conflicting fields > Warning: Symbol map for key <AE05> redefined > Using last definition for conflicting fields > Warning: Symbol map for key <AE06> redefined > Using last definition for conflicting fields I assume it's to do with the keyboard, but I don't know how to fix it.

SoulSe Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 The problem is probably with your X setup and not with your kernel (unless you forgot a vital module for your keyboard). What is your keyboard setup in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ? I'm assuming you are using your old X configuration, so maybe check your keyboard-related modules in the menuconfig (sorry, couldn't tell you what they are from where I am now).

mdg Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 The keyboard section of XF86Config-4 seems OK, unless there should be a value for XkbOptions Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "Keyboard" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "en_US" Option "XkbOptions" "" EndSection The only change I made in the compile was disabling APM and compiling "Button" and "CPU" from ACPI into the kernel.

mdg Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 It was some thing simple after all. The keyboard section of XF86Config-4 should look like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "Keyboard" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbCompat" "" Option "XkbOptions" "" instead of how it was: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "Keyboard" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "en_US" Option "XkbOptions" "" Time to recompile the kernel again :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
