Xvfb and xkb

[Ashwin Chandra <achandra@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am using Xvfb to render an X session in memory. I am trying to use setxkbmap to change the key layouts. I seem to have difficulty doing this other than US key layout. There are no errors when calling ?setxkbmap de? (german language) however the keymap looks all wrong and certain modifier keys like alt-gr don?t seem to work. I thought maybe I don?t have the right keymaps compiled in but I did a diff of /usr/share/X11/xkb with a working machine and it is the same. So I need some help figuring out how to debug this problem. Setxkbmap doesn?t seem to have much info except the verbose options telling me what it is setting.

 

Note: this does seem to work if I don?t use Xvfb and just use a normal session.
