Problems with keyb layout and fonts?

[Angelo Graziosi]

I want to flag the following problems I meet with the new X11R7.4. They
happen both with just an upgrade and reinstalling all from scratch.

1.
With the new X11R7.4 I have lost the italian layout of keyboard which
now reacts as an english KB. In the XWin.log I found:

[...]
MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so
(II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0
(EE) XKB: Could not invoke xkbcomp
(EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
(WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
(--) 5 mouse buttons found
(--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31
(--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00000410" (00000410)
(--) Using preset keyboard for "Italian" (410), type "4"
(EE) XKB: Could not invoke xkbcomp
(EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
(WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
[...]

but I do not know how to solve it.


2.
In my ~/.Xdefaults I have

[...]
URxvt*font:		xft:Bitstream Vera Sans 
Mono:size=14:medium:roman:antialias=true
URxvt*boldFont:		xft:Bitstream Vera Sans 
Mono:size=14:bold:roman:antialias=true
URxvt*italicFont:	xft:Bitstream Vera Sans 
Mono:size=14:medium:italic:autohint=true:antialias=true
URxvt*boldItalicFont:	xft:Bitstream Vera Sans 
Mono:size=14:bold:italic:autohint=true:antialias=true

! ---------[ xft ] ---------
Xft*antialias:		true
Xft*autohint:		true


! ---------[ xterm ] ---------
XTerm*background:	Black
XTerm*foreground:	LightGray
XTerm*scrollBar:	true
XTerm*rightScrollBar:	true
XTerm*faceName:		BitStream Vera Sans Mono
XTerm*faceSize:		14

with which the "BitStream" plus the previous x server X11R6.99 work just
fine (see [1] for a demo); but now with X11R7.4 it seems that instead of
Bitstream, luxi-mono is loaded (see the attached png file). I have
installed all font* pkgs.

I have started the X server with startxwin.{sh,bat} and with a link on
Desktop. In all cases the same results.


Cheers,
    Angelo.
