Xorg 1.5.3 - Still some issues with the keyboard layout

leo2501 · 2008-12-07 10:25:27

well i read a lot of threads and i solved almost everything, but my keyboard layout is still a little strange, for example, before the "backslash" key (the one above the TAB key) doesn't work anymore, that really bothers me because i really use the midnight commander "hotdir" feature

my config files:
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keymap">
      <append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-keymap</append>
    </match>

    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
      <merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>

      <!-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to
           keyboard otherwise). -->
      <merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">keyboard</merge>
      <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
             string="Linux">
        <merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
      </match>

      <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">es</merge>
      <merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string" />
    </matchudo
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

Just to clarify a point; are you using the "Evdev-managed leyboard" in 'System-Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout" ?

I don't know what the files in '/etc/hal/fdi/' are supposed to do, but this folder [and its' sub-folders] on my machine don't contain
any files !

You can change this line to the model you were using before, ie in your case pc105:

<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">keyboard</merge>

It won't be used unless evdev isn't working though.
