>Description:
Just upgraded xkeyboard-config-0.9_3 to xkeybxkeyboard-config-1.0..

Got " Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap" in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Unable to use special characters with my french keyboard.

Seems that dir /usr/local/lib/X11/xkb/compiled is needed.


>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Workaround, as root

# mkdir /usr/local/lib/X11/xkb/compiled
