Works here (either in xorg.conf or in fdi files if let X use hal). If you set up a keyboard layout in kde / gnome, it may be possible that it resets the xkb options... though you seem to have the layout set in xorg.conf, so that it seem improbable that you use the gnome/kde layout configuration... yoyo > ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- > From xorg.conf: > > Section "InputDevice" > > Identifier "Keyboard1" > Driver "kbd" > # [HP 100709_111603 From post on gentoo.user > ## From: Florian Philipp <li...@f_philipp.fastmail.net> > ## Subject: Re: Fed up with Xorg + hal mess > ## Date: Tue, 06 Oct 2009 19:22:46 +0200 > ## Message-ID: <4acb7ce6.10...@f_philipp.fastmail.net> > ## Restablishes Ctrl-Alt-Bkspc to quit X > Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" > # ] > Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" > Option "XkbRules" "xorg" > Option "XkbModel" "pc104" > Option "XkbLayout" "us" > > EndSection > >
