    xkb: if the keymap failed to compile, load the default keymap instead. · d3499556

    We really need symbols, compat, keynames, vmods and types for a sensible keymap.
    
    Try this in your xorg.conf.d snippets for all keyboards:
            Option "XkbLayout" "us"
            Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
    
    us(nodeadkeys) doesn't exist so xkbcomp provides everything but the symbols
    map. We say we want everything but don't _need_ anything, the server happily
    gives us a keymap with every key mapped to NoSymbol. This in turn isn't what
    we want after all.
    
    So instead, require symbols, compat, keynames, vmods and types from the
    keymap and if that fails, load the default keymap instead. If that fails
    too, all bets are off.
