Ive tried xorg
Option "XkbLayout" "us, ru"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle" or "...grp:alt_shift_tpggle"
with no result
yesterday pacman asked me if i would like to replace some two file, I did not give it much attention, and today my layouts do not work.
have to use setxkbmap -layout every time.
here is pacman.log, i think i was asked to replace perlxml and kernel... if im not mistaking

Tried putting it into /etc/xorg.conf.d/?

Xorg now uses udev for all settings and not hal. hal is deprecated, but you might still need it for some apps
Head over to the wiki and search for Udev, read through and you will find the solutions for setting up the keyboard mouse and other devices there.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

putting what? /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ is a directory:
10-evdev.conf 10-synaptics.conf
10-quirks.conf 20-nvidia.conf
did you mean 10-evdev.conf?
Offline
thanks Inxsible i'll try that

looks like this is the problem:
setxkbmap -print -verbose to 10
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout
Using command line, ignoring X server
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: evdev+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc+to(10)+inet(evdev)
geometry: pc(pc104)
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+to(10)+inet(evdev)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
};

In the wiki I've found suggestion in form of keyboard.conf so maybe the name dosn't matter that much.

@mishanya we don't have a magic ball to know what stupid things you added in those configs. Paste them!
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

thanks karol ive replaced the 10-evdev.conf file with the one in instruction and it worked, although i had to remove the "Option "XkbVariant" ", phonetic"" part, as otherwise all the letters were in the wrong places.
wonder ive posted all the files ive ever modified in the beginning didnt touch configs in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

i still get that warning response, though:

You did remove the old ones, right?

you suggest i remove the 10-keymap.fdi file (the only one ive modified for the layout purpose) or only the layout section inside it? Inxsible sad there is not much use of hal now. I saved a copy of 10-evdev.conf file on my desktop, dont think it should cause any trouble.

You should remove / rename that file. As for HAL, some apps still use it, so don't uninstall it just yet.

ok ill try, though my personal policy is "if it works do not touch it"

Does it work for you atm?

you mean a cash machine? never works for me either, says "insufficient funds every damn time"... probably some bug in software, cant find time to report it, though.

No there is no need for you to enable the samba daemon for keyboard problems
Ok, that's too much fluff in this thread....so I am gonna stop posting
