Heya,

I suddenly can't some keys anymore. I tried typing a character, but it isn't displayed anymore. Something changed my Xorg-configuration ... It seemed my original xorg.conf has been overwritten? I check the xorg.conf-file and it seems to be the case.

greetings,

Michel

Heya,

it seems my xorg.conf-config-file wasn't overwritten, but my keyboard changed some way, although it is still the same config it seems. I compared it with a backup.

greetings,

Heya,

I noticed the following:

[root@computerke xkb]# ls -l keymap
ls: keymap/sony: Permission denied
ls: keymap/xfree86: Permission denied
ls: keymap/xfree98: Permission denied

I changed the owner and group back to root ... I'm going to see if it works again.

greetings,

Michel

Heya again,

it was solved by "chown -R root:root keymap". The characters are shown again.

greetings,

Michel

Heya,

this problem mayba appeared because of filesystem-corruption or hardware-corruption. I'm not completely sure.

greetings,

Michel
