Thanks Alan, I can't see mine being that different to be honest, other than
using the file /../policy/10-xinput-configuration.fdi instead of your
/../policy/10-x11-input.fdi to make these entries. Would that be important?
I can get the:
<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions"
type="string">grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,compose:menu
work, or I can get the:
<merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge>
work, but not both at the same time.
Here's my configuration in case you can see something amiss:
============================
# cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-xinput-configuration.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<!-- Keyboard configuration -->
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys"> [1]
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
string="Linux">
<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbModel" type="string">pc105</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">gb,el</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions"
type="string">grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,compose:menu</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.options" [2]
type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
<!-- touchpad -->
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<match key="info.product" contains="SynPS/2">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.VertEdgeScroll"
type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.HorizEdgeScroll"
type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.ClickButton1" type="string">1</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
============================
[1] I had this as: <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard">
[2] I also tried: <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions"
type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge>
