I had this very same problem yesterday, and all that I did was create the
missing directories...
mkdir -p /var/X11R6/xkb/compiled
Actually, only xkb/compiled is missing, and after the display manager
finished starting up, nothing was written to that directory! The error
messages went away, and I was able to use my backspace (102 key keyboard).
Later,
John

Hello...
I'm having a strange problem under FreeBSD-STABLE with XFree86 (from the
ports collection). I can't get accents nor special caracter (like
pipe...) to work. I have no problem under the console though.
I found this in my XFree86.0.log:
(**) XKB: model: "pc105"
(**) XKB: layout: "fr"
Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
Anyone have an idea about what I did wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Antoine
