You could try to re-create the directory with the info below, or maybe |
| 7 |
re-emerge x11-misc/xkeyboard-config. |

The X server uses this directory to store the compiled version of the |
| 17 |
current keymap and/or any scratch keymaps used by clients. The X server |
| 18 |
or some other tool might destroy or replace the files in this directory, |
| 19 |
so it is not a safe place to store compiled keymaps for long periods of |
| 20 |
time. The default keymap for any server is usually stored in: |
| 21 |
X<num>-default.xkm |
| 22 |
where <num> is the display number of the server in question, which makes |
| 23 |
it possible for several servers *on the same host* to share the same |
| 24 |
directory. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Unless the X server is modified, sharing this directory between servers on |
| 27 |
different hosts could cause problems. |
