Hello,
I have a layout problem: I had until yesterday the xorg 7.
I choosed to come back to stable xorg 6.8 for easier the automatic 
updating.
After that I lose the keyboard layout: in the normal console (with 
ctr+alt+f1) I had the german layout, but under x I cannot set it (it is 
still to us layout).
What can I do?
Thanks,
Luigi

[gentoo-user] Keyboard Layout

[Cláudio Henrique]

hi, there,
I've beem having problems setting my kbd layout. I added a line in
xorg.conf telling it to use "us_intl" as my kbd layout, but it seems
to be ignoring it.
as a consequence, I have to execute "setxkbmap us_intl" every time I
enter Gnome. I also tried adding it to ~/.xinitrc .
how can I automate this task?
thanks in advance.
cláudio.

Maybe Gnome is overriding the keyboard setting, doing a setxkbmap of 
its own?  Putting it .xinitrc then comes too early.  Try putting it 
in .bashrc and make a Terminal open on every startup?  On make Gnome 
stop setting the keyboard.

I added setxkbmap us_intl do ~/.xprofile, but still haven't had time
to verify if it did the job. I've found something about
internationatization somewhere in the gentoo wikipedia.

If you're on stable (7.0 or above), us_intl no longer exists.

You probably want this in xorg.conf:
Option "XkbLayout" "latin"
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch"

Thanks,
Donnie

[gentoo-user] keyboard layout

[Matthew R. Lee]

I had a few problems with an update of Xorg over the weekend which I have 
sorted out, however I've been left with one niggle.  The keyboard layout 
isn't being recognized.
I have a laptop with a British keyboard layout
The xorg.conf has the following:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "uk"
EndSection

This used to work fine, but now it's not working
I'm using xorg-server-1.3.0.0

Any suggestions as to why it's ignoring the .conf?

Matt

Did you try to change the driver?

My xorg.conf uses this:
Driver      "keyboard"

Just for reference, here's the relevant part of my xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "keyboard"
        Option      "CoreKeyboard"
        Option      "XkbRules"  "xorg"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "gb,fr,ru,ro"
        Option      "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
        Option "XkbVariant"  ",,winkeys,std"
EndSection

Try to play with the options. Regards,
Liviu
