Another Keybord issue since Xorg7 upgrade [SOLVED]

Hi there !

  I've surfed through the other subject, and haven't found any answer.  Since I upgraded to Xorg7, I cannot use combinaison of CTRL+ALT+F1/2/... to switch back to console mode, nor use ALTRIGHT+2 to do an "at" sign, or any combinaison with the ALTGr that suppose to work.  Everything was working fine before the upgrade (I was using Xorg6.8 ).

  I had some problem with the mouse too, but for now, it's not my main problem !

  Anyone can help me ?  My keyboard section in xorg.conf looks like that:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "KeyboardLogitech"
        Driver          "kbd"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "logiaccess"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "ca_enhanced"
        Option          "XkbOptions"    "compose:ralt"
EndSection

Thanks a lot for your help !!!

*PS: I did tried <Option "XkbOptions" ""> or with a generic model and it didn't works for me.

Hi there !

  I found the problem for my layout.  I was using "ca_enhanced", which is no more there in Xorg7.  So to get the same setting with the new one, I have to do this:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "KeyboardLogitech"
        Driver          "kbd"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "logiaccess"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "ca"
        Option          "XkbVariant"    "fr"
EndSection

So using the "ca" layout and the "fr" variation, it give me my old "ca_enhanced" (French Canadian).

Thanks to that Gentoo HowTo:

Hope it will help someone else !!!

Have a nice day !

Or better wink :
