The xserver compiles the keymap on startup. If xkbcomp works on the command
line, it should also work for the server. So I'm stuck and have no idea
why it does not work.
Just a few things to look after:
- is /tmp is a binary mount? run mount an see if there is an entry for /tmp
with binmode or an entry for / with binmode. If not, then mount at least
the /tmp directory in binmode.
- the xserver uses /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkbcomp (not the one in /usr/X11R6/bin).
Try the xkbcomp commandline with this binary.
