Hi

On gnome login warning about XKB error appears and suggest report result
of following commands:

% xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us+ru", "",
"altwin:meta_win,grp_led:scroll,grp:rctrl_toggle"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us+ru", "",
"altwin:meta_win,grp_led:scroll,grp:rctrl_toggle"
% gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
 layouts = [us+ru]
 model = pc105
 overrideSettings = false
 options = [altwin      altwin:meta_win,grp_led grp_led:scroll,grp
grp:rctrl_toggle]
 update_handlers = []
%

This is appears after migrationg to Xorg and gnome-2.8

Looks like there is something wrong with mode-switch in my X
configuration

corresponding part of xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "keyboard"
        
        Option "XkbRules"   "xfree86"
        Option "XkbModel"   "pc105"  
        Option "XkbLayout"  "us+ru"  
        Option "XkbOptions"
"altwin:meta_win,grp_led:scroll,grp:rctrl_toggle"

EndSection

XEmacs also complains something about it:

(1) (key-mapping/warning) XEmacs:  Mode_switch (0x5d) generates both
Mod3 and Mod5, which is nonsensical.

And xbbvleds lights two leds (2nd and 4th) on mode-switch key (right
control).


Any hints will be very appreciated.
