Failing to change my keymap for X11 on void linux
I have installed a recent version of void linux on a Fujitsu Lifebook E751.
- uname -a results in 4.12.11_1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 8 20:17:18 UTC 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
- Xorg version is 1.19.3, Protocol Ver. 11
After installations I had a us keyboard mapping. This is driving me nuts, hence I tried to change it by writing several variants of a /etc/X11/xorg.conf. None worked.
After consulting google several times I followed the official Xorg guide. I concocted this configuration:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "system-keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbLayout" "neo"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
EndSection
But despite all efforts, the problem stays the same. I get
(EE) Error loading keymap /var/lib/xkb/server-0.xkm
(EE) XKB: Failed to load keymap. Loading default keymap instead.
In the end the US-keyboard is loaded.
This is driving me totally nuts!

I don't know how Void Linux handles it, but (1)/var/lib/xkb/server-0.xkmdoesn't exist on my system. In fact/var/lib/xkbis mostly empty, the rules are in/usr/share/X11/xkb, (2) "neo" isn't one of the default layouts, I would have to add it by hand. So googling isn't going to help, you need to figure out how yourxkbis set up, and why it is different. Look atsetxkbmap,xkbcomp, andxkbprint, and here. Identify where your xkb files are.

/var/lib/xkbis essentially a cache for precompiled XKB keymaps and should not be the problem here. unless you've added/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/neoto your system, you probably don't have aneolayout available. on my system,neois a variant of thedelayout. to test:setxkbmap -layout de -variant neo(in an xterm) and see if that gets where you're trying to go.

There should be a line like this in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-keyboard.conf or xorg.conf config file for example:
MatchProduct "AT Translated Set 2"
Your product could be different so check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for the details.
There are a lot of things that can match a keyboard so the MatchProduct narrows down the choices for the Xserver.
Check the man page xkeyboard-config for info about the layout.
