Hi guys.
I just changed my distribution from Ubuntu to Archlinux, and now i`m kind of desperate because i cannot set up my X-Server. However i read the xorg and evdev guide, but it doesnt work the way i want.
First of all some information about my computer: Its a IBM thinkpad T40 with a german keyboard.
My Xorg.conf:

You may wonder why XkbRules is commented, but if i dont comment it or i set AutoAddDevices to true i have a very strange zoom effect whenever i press a key. The Issue i have is also described here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-436575.html. Unfortunately there is no resolution. If i comment it and set AutoAddDevices to false i have an other issue: All the special characters wich are activated by the right Alt key are now on the umlaut-keys.
I tried so many things and i have absolutely no idea whats wrong. Maybe you guys can help me.
Thanks in advance

Alphara,
I don't have a thinkpad, so I dont know about any special quirks for it.
Howewer, have you tried to start X without an xorg.conf, and build up from there ?
Move xorg.conf out of the way and give it a try.
You will also need to install xf86-input-evdev

Hi Mektub.
The one I posted is a (modified) generated one, but I have tried it with some other generated ones and I have tried to built it up by myself several times but both didn't work. And the xf86-input-evdev is already installed.
The xorg.conf I posted is the one that worked best so far. So either I have to get my right Alt-key working or ,if I do it with evdev, i have to get rid of the "zoom effect".
But anyway thanks for your help. Maybe you have another idea.

alphara,
still, you dont say if you tried without a xorg.conf.
How did you generate the xorg.conf ? hwd ?
Try X -configure.

Yes i tried it without a xorg.conf. The result was that i have no keyboard at all . If i use X -configure the result is the same.
I created my current xorg.conf with hwd. I just added some values like the modelines for my monitor.
By the way, thats the result of "hal-device|grep -B 15 input.x11.driver":
[...]
56: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_a5c_4502_noserial_if0_logicaldev_input'
input.xkb.rules = 'xorg' (string)

info.capabilities = { 'input', 'input.keyboard', 'input.keypad', 'input.keys', 'button' } (string list)

linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/input/input7/event7' (string)
input.device = '/dev/input/event7' (string)
input.product = 'HID 0a5c:4502' (string)
input.x11_driver = 'evdev' (string)
[...]
(The result is quite long, so i just copied the part with the keyboard)
Thanks
