Sorry, I never got around to testing this again, but I have since moved to Arch, and it's not a problem in this distro. (I'm no longer using Ubuntu, so this bug should remain closed.)

Hence, it contains the following line: MatchProduct "TrulyErgonomic.com Truly Ergonomic Computer Keyboard" I know that this match triggers fine, because it activates at-home-modifier [1] as expected, only for this keyboard. I can confirm this by commenting out the following at-home-modifier line, which results in a lack of activation. Option "TransMod" "36:64" However, it seems that the xkb options are not triggering. For example this line: Option "XKbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch_multikey,numpad:pc,ctrl:swapcaps" Similarly to above, I've tried removing ",ctrl:swapcaps" and restarting, but this makes no difference. From `setxkbmap -query`, no options are set. Oddly enough, if I comment out the "MatchProduct" line, then this line functions as expected, as confirmed by restarting with either ",ctrl:swapcaps" present or absent. (Obviously this then acts on all keyboards.) I've also tried this with similar results for: Option "XkbLayout" "ara" Option "XkbVariant" "" Finally, I've also tried manually changing the settings of they integrated keyboard. First I find the id with `xinput list`, then run setxkbmap -device 15 -layout us -variant altgr-intl -option lv3:ralt_switch_multikey,numpad:pc,ctrl:swapcaps This works as expected. In case it's important, here is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-TECK- keymap.conf : Section "InputClass" Identifier "TECK" Driver "evdev" # If you save this file under xorg.conf.d/ : Option "AutoServerLayout" "on" MatchIsKeyboard "on" MatchProduct "TrulyErgonomic.com Truly Ergonomic Computer Keyboard" ### at-home-modifier options begin here. # The basic option. Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbVariant" "altgr-intl" Option "XKbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch_multikey,numpad:pc,ctrl:swapcaps" Option "TransMod" "36:64" EndSection I'm running Kubuntu 13.04, KDE 4.10.5, with "Configure layouts" and "Configure keyboard options" unchecked in System Settings. Further, I can see that the settings are being overwritten by /etc/default/keyboard . I can change this file manually, and see that xkb changes on restart. Is there a workaround that will allow me to configure keyboards separately? I tried removing this file or commenting it all out, but upon restart, xkb still ignored xorg.conf, using some kind of hard-coded default values.
