Today's Xorg upgrade - SLiM uses QWERTY, Openbox AZERTY

.:B:. · 2009-10-22 09:01:00

Some weird stuff going on! I just pulled in the latest Xorg packages from testing and after restarting X and rebooting a few times (after the previous Xorg from testing I got SLiM to switch back from QWERTY to AZERTY by rebooting) SLiM still uses a QWERTY layout. Once I login, my desktop works just fine with AZERTY.

I haven't tried rebuilding SLiM yet (I saw someone mentioning it was no longer maintained upstream?).

Any clues?

I have further info - it seems it's only the bluetooth keyboard that uses the QWERTY layout in SLiM, the laptop keyboard is AZERTY. Once I log in, they're both AZERTY. Any hints to what I should be looking for?
