For all apps I start then (e.g. if (...) I managed to get the kde keyboard layout switcher to work. Before, I had problems with it - it was disabling the arrow keys etc. Here, selecting "Evdev-managed keyboard" as keyboard type instead of the generic 105 key did the trick. Now this gives me a German layout in all apps I start. A problem remains with lancelot / kickoff, which is apparently started before the layout switcher is initialized. Here I chose, as a dirty workaround, to kill lancelot via autostart. This means it is restarted the first time I click on the K menu. Meanwhile, I've recompiled hal, xorg and evdev from debian sid; I have however not yet tested if this makes the problem disappear as a whole. Anyway, I think I won't file a KDE bugreport about this story because I still think that the problem here is related to my weird system setup.

I tried the new input driver (evdev)... then, at first, I also didn't have German layout at all.

Turned out I had Xorg updated but hadn't updated the respective HAL version yet. Since it now handles the input device settings, it asks for the layout and variant settings.

Wrong keyboard after KDE4.2 startup, ok after a while
Hi all, I'm having a bizarre problem here. My system is lenny, with qt 4.4.3, X.Org 1.4.2 and recompiled KDE 4.2.2 from unstable. The kernel is a self-compiled 2.6.28. keyboard layouts are deactivated in kcontrol; activating them didn't change anything to the better. After I start KDE, the keyboard layout for ~the first 2 apps I start is US. Typically I have this in the program starter (lancelot or kickoff), and in the first iceweasel I start afterwards. For all apps I start then (e.g. if I kill lancelot and then press the K menu) it's perfectly ok. If I only start an xterm instead of kde, and then iceweasel, there seems to be no problem at all (i.e. I have German layout). This first appeared after I switched from etch (yes, there I also managed to recompile kde 4.2.0 after recompiling some other packages ;)) to lenny. Back then, I still had the etch 4.2.0 packages installed, and I thought the problem was due to the 4.2.0 compiled on etch, another compiler or whatever. Unfortunately, it wasn't. My X.Org log is appended below. I used the kbd driver for input before, but the switch to evdev didn't change the situation. I really have no idea what the reason for this can be... maybe there's some old config files hanging around, but I have no idea where that should be. This system has not been freshly installed since ... potato?
