In theory those xorg.conf settings should no longer be required - what
happens if you boot X with no xorg.conf, or with those lines removed
from xorg.conf?
** Summary changed:
- gnome-keyboard-properties doesn't work correctly
+ dead key settings don't persist from session to session
** Description changed:
I have been trying to get the usa international with dead keys keyboard
layout to work, do I can create an accented e with ' + e, for example,
and an umlaut with shift + ' + u . Selecting this layout in keyboard
- preferences however only worked untill I restarted the x-server / my
+ preferences however only works until I restarted the x-server / my
computer, and for some reason, doesn't work at all anymore now. this is
my current xorg.conf keyboard section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbVariant" "intl"
EndSection
Now how can I set it so that dead keys work as described above, and why
- doesn't gnome-keyboard-properties work? I think it has somehthing to do
- with permissions, becasue the program doesn't ask for your pasword, and
+ doesn't gnome-keyboard-properties work? I think it has something to do
+ with permissions, because the program doesn't ask for your password, and
/etc/X11/xorg.conf requires root permissions to save any changes in it.
Also, when I log in as root, by typing "startx" from a root terminal,
and I select the keyboard layout (graphically), the program works fine.
(until I restart the xserver / reboot the computer, then the dead keys
don't work anymore, just like before)
