Can't change keyboard layout.

SteveDeFacto · 2013-08-19 15:18:46

I'm using a basic install of arch with Slim and Awesome. Was easy to configure the keyboard layout for the root terminal but when I tried to change the layout for X using this arch wiki guide but it didn't work at all. I also tried about 10-20 other guides but none of them worked either. What am I doing wrong?!

Could you post your config? And what is your keyboard layout?

I use Dvorak. I don't have a config file for the X server. Instead, I just put "setxkbmap dvorak" in my "~/.xinitrc" file. This also makes it easy to change back, using "setxkbmap us".

It's part of the package "xorg-setxkbmap".

Hello

I'm not sure if this helps because it's not the layout you're after but I struggled for a little while to get my keyboard right and didn't want to use Xmodmap. In the end, I found the answers were in the Wiki you list. You have to have a look in the directories that are specified. I noticed that there are a couple of lines that are different (2 & 3 below) in your layout.

1 Section "InputClass"
2     Identifier "keyboard defaults"
3     MatchIskeyboard "yes"
4     Driver "evdev"
5     Option "XkbModel" "macbook79"
6     Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
7 EndSection

It's part of the package "xorg-setxkbmap".

That's not ideal as it would only set it after I log in with slim. However, I tried that before but could not figure out how to execute a command with arguments from ~/.xinitrc. I tried:

exec "setxkbmap dvorak"

It would just crash. If you can tell me how exactly you did it, that would be temporary fix to my problem but I still want to know why this is happening.

So anyway, I have tried countless tutorials and guides but nothing is working. I am almost certain the problem is not how I wrote the configuration files. There has to be something overriding my settings but I have no idea what it is. I am not running gnome-settings-daemon so I don't know what else would override xorg's settings?

Can't figure out what is wrong! From the xorg log it appears my keyboard options are being applied to all devices on my machine?... I'm going to post my log here and hope someone can figure out what is going on.

Just a couple of comments.
I dont have the keyboard in my xorg.conf and in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keyboard-layouts.conf.
Try hashing out the one in xorg.conf.
I also note that the xorg.log shows a warning:-
ie.
[ 16.940] (WW) Disabling Keyboard0
[ 16.940] (WW) Disabling Mouse0
Dont know if this is relevant.

I do not know how correct this is, but it works for me, using the xinit method I put the setxbmap before the exec like so.

setxkbmap se
exec awesome

I probably should have mentioned this before but it is a Logitech Wireless Combo MK360. I tried it with a wired keyboard and it worked. From previous forum posts this appears to be a bug. It seems that the only way to fix this would be to install proprietary drivers but Logitech has none for linux...

Yes, an old post, but google found this. In your log it says randr disabled... I just disabled randr to fix a display port monitor problem and it broke my keyboard layout switching. Ugh... I hope this helps someone.
