As I was curious as to what the accessx file looks like and what are the permissions set to, I looked in /etc/X11/xkb/compat There are several occurences of the file (I think one for each time I tried to re-install the xorg package), each with a ";" suffix followed by what seems to be a checksum number. I wanted to show that list to you, and as to easily cut-and-paste a list, I opened a terminal and run "ls -l". I discovered something very interesting:

Just out of curiosity could you show the results of ls -l /etc/X11/xkb and ls -l /etc/X11? Thanks, -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
