[arch-general] Option XkbLayout doesn't work?
Hi folks, It looks like the setting of keyboards layouts in xorg.conf doesn't work anymore, or I'm missing something? --8-- Section InputDevice . Option XkbRules xorg Option XkbModel evdev Option XkbLayout us,ru,am Option XkbVariant ,phonetic,phonetic . EndSection --8-- The only way I can set up the kbd layout is the using setxkbmap with the same settings in my ~/.xinitrc. Is it a bug of a feature of the new X? Cheers, Sergey

Cheers, Sergey There's some time now that X Window has a hotplugging feature. You can disable it, probably is what you want.

It's a feature since Xorg 1.5.X, it's called Xorg Input Hotplugging. Now your keyboard layout settings should be in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi (once you put it there). Check out the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_input_hotplugging Cheers, Paulo Santos

I was thinking that the old mechanism can be used as well. The problem why I do not want to use setxkbmap was discussed in the thread: http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2009-May/004959.html Rogutės wrote: This is a bug with xkbcomp and it has been reported upstream long ago Thanks, Sergey

You must choose either xorg.conf or hotplugging. The wiki explains how you can get the old behaviour againt, disabling hotplugging. Or you can try to configure it. I am using it and I think it's great. In fact, I'm not using xorg.conf anymore and I'm loving it :) -- --- Denis A.
