Bug#515734: xinit: changes keyboard layout at gdm login screen suddenly

[Julien Valroff <julien@kirya.net>]

Hi all,

Are you sure this is not the new way of configuring xorg through hal?

In my case, I have added a file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi
with the following contents for a French keymap:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
      <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">fr</merge>
      <merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string">latin9</merge>
      <merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">compose:lwin</merge>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

And it works - not sure however it was the same problem asi it is with
xorg from experimental.

In my case, and if I am right, it means that any pointer using mouse and
kbd drivers are ignored and evdev is used.

My xorg.conf file is now empty - yes, empty.

Cheers,
Julien
