What is the correct way to fix (get) missing xkb rules ?

[Rog131]

I did notice that i have missing keys in the keyboard and Xorg.0.log told:

:~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(WW)"
    (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
...
(WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
...

Also -

:~$ setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout fi -variant basic

told:

Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
Couldn't find rules file (xorg)

So rules are missing ?

In the dapper usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:

fonts icons locale xkb

But in the feisty usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ only have

fonts icons

Quick and dirty fix: Copy dirs from dapper to feisty. Seems to work.

But what is the right way (tm ) ?

So rules are missing?

I'd rather cast doubt on the configuration of your system's X server ...
in particular, what does more /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep 'Xkb' result in?

I think that configuration is ok.

:~$ more /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep 'Xkb'
 option "XkbRules" "xorg"
 option "XkbModel" "pc105"
 option "XkbLayout" "fi"

Try
option "XkbRules" "base"
