I'm not sure if it's related, but do you have the right locales installed? What does `locale -a` say?

Re: [SOLVED] KDE 3.5.1 (extra) and keyboard layouts

Since Modular Xorg 7 upgrade, I had a similar problem, concerning the mouse and the keyboard.

I think it is because of "bad" /etc/X11/xorg.conf. You need to adapt it to the new Xorg.

Here is my "InputDevice" section for my usb keyboard:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "LogitechMX700Duo_clavier_kb"
    Driver      "kbd"
    Option      "XkbRules"    "xorg"
    Option      "XkbModel"   "itouch"
    Option      "XkbLayout"   "ca"
    Option      "XkbVariant"  "fr"
    Option       "XkbOptions" "compose:ralt"
EndSection

Note that I still have problem. For example the right alt is not good. My multimedia keys doesn't send anymore events, etc.

Hope it helped a bit...
