I would like to activate my french layout.

Thanks a lot!

solved:

I linked a couple of directory, I think the good one was:

/usr/share/X11/xkb -> /usr/lib/X11/xkb

and

/usr/share/X11/xkb -> /etc/X11/xkb

I was able to get the list back in KDE

But I can|t, running Gnome.

I tried / as zou adviced /
ln -s /usr/share/X11/xkb/ /usr/lib/xkb
ln -s /usr/share/X11/xkb/ /etc/X11/xkb

setxkbmap
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'

gnome complains about several xkb errors, all in german, and therefore I suppuse them to be useless for you. I can use onlz english kezmap right now.

The solution is easy. In /etc/X11/xorg.conf edit the keyboard section. Change xfree86 to xorg.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" ""
EndSection
