keyboard layout issue with Wmii, permanently ignores any config-file.
i switched to wmii recently. Now it seems like wmii is ignoring what is set up in hal/policys or in the xinit or in whatever config file.
it starts directly at the login screen with US-layout. I want DE as before, than i can work around my way to setup a switch-key from DE to DE NEO2.
This is really anoying.
Which outputs / configurations do you need to help me?

Re: keyboard layout issue with Wmii, permanently ignores any config-file.
originally i wanted to get everything working by udev but ended up at least for harddrives using halevt.
so, what would be the ideal solution to this problem?

Re: keyboard layout issue with Wmii, permanently ignores any config-file.
Not sure. Is it just keyboard stuff? Is it possible to use xmodmap instead of hal?
For harddrives you can still use hal. Just X stopped using hal, everything that uses it still does.

Re: keyboard layout issue with Wmii, permanently ignores any config-file.
can i run _somewhere_ in any file a configuration of xmodmap which autostarts _before_ the login? i am not sure, because i tried to much - xorg config, hal, manually setting by using setxkbmap, axkb.

Re: keyboard layout issue with Wmii, permanently ignores any config-file.
Accord to the wiki you can set keyboard layouts in xorg.conf.d. An example is here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … 20G_Laptop .
