Since it is dying anyway, no need putting in a lot of effort just to switch again later on. Dale :-) :-)

I'm glad deleting the config files and re-emerging worked for me then.

I agree with you, but I like to make things in order with the rules (without
relation to udev).
But I don't like udev, its syntax is really hard to understand for user !

Interesting, but it seems more complex that a simple stanza
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. Using udev rules for something that will only be
used by one application adds unnecessary complication, IMO. If only X
will use the information, I'd prefer to put in in the X configuration

Re: [gentoo-user] kdm & french keyboard
If you use a recent version of xorg-server (>= 1.8) you can enable the "udev" use flag, and disable the flag "hal". Hal usage with xorg is clearly deprecated now, and its complete removal from xorg-server is scheduled soon, as it will be eventually replaced by the new abstraction layer from freedesktop.org "DeviceKit" Before it occurs, Xorg-server works well using udev instead of hal to deal with hardware recognition. I've got a similar config (azerty keyboard, no xorg.conf) and just created the file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-keymap.conf' where I put the following lines: Section "InputClass" Identifier "Keyboard" Driver "evdev" Option "xkbLayout" "fr" MatchIsKeyboard "on" EndSection -- Ronan Mainbourg Antananarivo, Madagascar 2010/7/8, alain.didierj...@free.fr : > Selon Neil Bothwick : > >> On Wed, 07 Jul 2010 17:23:13 +0200, alain.didierj...@free.fr wrote: >> >> > > Set in in xorg.conf. there's a thread on the forums that deals with >> > > this using HAL fdi files, but those are not deprecated for Xorg. >> >> Whoops, don't know how that "not" crept in, HAL is deprecated for Xorg. >> >> > > http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-808934-start-0.html >> > >> > Fast & reliable as ever.

[gentoo-user] kdm & french keyboard
I log in thru kdm. As I'm french, I have an azerty keyboard. By default, kdm use a qwerty keymap. That's a problem when it comes to entering passwords. How do I get kdm launched with an azerty keymap ? (nothing relevant found in kdmrc).
