kX Generator keyboard layout problem

I tried out kxgenerator from the AUR and I was curious if anyone else encountered the same problem that I did. I loaded the app and had it write a new xorg.conf file and everything seemed fine. However, I found out later that I couldn't switch X sessions while I was playing THPS3 under Cedega; I lauched it with Xgame so it was in a second X session. I was able to fix the problem after I noticed that I had kxgenerator change my keyboard layout to en_US. I was originally had XkbLayout set to us in my old xorg.conf file but that option was not available in kxgenerator. After switching XkbLayout to us in the new xorg.conf file, I was able to switch X sessions again. I was wondering if anyone else who has tried kxgenerator has had this problem.

I downloaded the kxgenerator source code and I was able to change it to include a us keyboard layout option. With the changes, kxgenerator can detect if us is set for XkbLayout in the xorg.conf file and it will automatically change the keyboard layout menu option to us.

Re: kX Generator keyboard layout problem

You should inform kxgenerator author about this bug, so he will fix it in next release.
