Not useless at all. I gave it a try (using ~/.xinitrc), but it didn't appear to have any effect (not in the lxterminal at least). I wonder whether lxde/lxdm is doing something quirky resulting in it not running through the normal xinit stuff? Maybe Xorg would auto-detect my desired layout if I was using HAL? I'm trying to avoid that as it's looking like it's being phased out. Can anyone else confirm if their keyboard layout is automatically detected with no Xorg config file please, or whether you know if such a feature is/isn't present upstream?
