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.

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

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
