Dvorak Keymap
Hi all,
I've recently upgraded my system, and the dvorak keymap seems to be broken.
[root@optimus infracephas]# setxkbmap dvorak
Error loading new keyboard description
[root@optimus infracephas]# setxkbmap /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/dvorak
Error loading new keyboard description
If I cd over to the symbols directory,
[root@optimus infracephas]# cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/
[root@optimus symbols] setxkbmap ./dvorak
It works.
Can anyone explain this behavior? I'd like my keyboard to be automatically in dvorak whenever I start up X.

Re: Dvorak Keymap
I always just set my keymap in my /etc/rc.conf and in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Weird error though.

Re: Dvorak Keymap
I can't explain it, but after setting these options in my xorg.conf:
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak"
everything seemed to work fine.
