Also, when I run the following, I get a segfault-- seems to be a bigger problem than just not having the pc104 model available.

gnoppix@sirius$ setxkbmap -model pc105
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xfree86' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
Segmentation fault

I am trying to get gok to work for the gnome 2.4 backport for you guys, and found that the xserver is not able to use xkb correctly.

Relevant section of XF86Config-4:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

result in XFree86.0.log:

Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap

This results in gok (from gnome 2.4) segfaulting because XkbGeometry pointers are NULL.

gok from my gnome 2.2 backport does not crash, however xfree86 obviously still is not handling correctly.

I am using (from credativ):
ii xserver-xfree86 4.3.0-0woody4+3
