to your xorg.conf and configure your keyboard as usual with
xorg.conf.
Unfortunately I get:
"Failed to load module "kbd" (module does not exist, 0)"
...and there is no mouse anymore. The xorg.conf was created by
Xorg --configure
If I switch AutoAddDevices to on, mouse and keyboard are working, but
with a wrong layout. I prefer to modify hal to chose the right keyboard
layout for me rather than switching it off entirely.
If I wtach the Xorg.0.log I see with hal working it choses a keyboard
layout "sg" (instead of "ch" Variant "de_mac") and I remember vaguely
typing this once in a Debian dialog when installing. The layout "sg"
doesn't exist, that's why I'm quite sure, I did this type. But I can't
find the package to dpkg-reconfigure -plow to stumble upon this question
again. Any hint?
I think I found the solution to teach hal the right layout here:

Thanks and best regards, Adrian.
