Description Oleg Lelchuk 2004-10-11 23:39:14 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc-3.3.3 
OS:                Linux

My distribution is Linux From Scratch. There
are absolutely no keyboard layouts listed in the Keyboard Layout section of the Control Center and absolutely zero models are listed
in the Keyboard Model section. Fix it. Thanks.

could you please provide your X11 version and output from
ls -l /etc/X11/xkb/rules

list of layouts and models is taken from /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst

if you have X11 installed not in standard location you may want to try latest
kxkb code from CVS which fixes some problems

I use Xorg. Its version is 6.7. I don't have xfree86.1st. The output from ls -l /etc/X11/xkb/rules is:

do 'ln -s /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst'
that should help

Comment 5 Oleg Lelchuk 2004-10-13 12:16:10 UTC

Wow! That helped! Thank you very much! 
So, the fact that it doesn't read from xorg.lst makes it a bug? Or it's
not really a bug?

Comment 6 Andriy Rysin 2004-10-13 15:06:18 UTC

it does read xorg.lst if xfree86.lst is missing in latest KDE

Comment 7 mi+kde 2004-10-13 22:48:53 UTC

How does the availability of a fix in newer release make a bug report "INVALID"?
