Hi there,
I am now using Arch for few month, and an annoying issue is recurring with the keyboard.
I have a Loogtech Wave, every time I reboot the layout comes back to default us, while I've got a uk one.
please see below my xorg.conf keyboard section as it might help, I also set up the layout to uk within gnome (gnome-keyboard-properties) set uk to default and delete us, but it always come back....
Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
Option "XkbVariant" ""
EndSection
I would also like to ask what is this page referring to? How to use those information?

Many thanks

Does it work correctly when you are not logged into X? Have you tried using evdev instead of kbd? This should also make most of your speial keys work.

Right so I follow the guide, it's now starting on the UK keyboard using evdev. But the layout is still us, I've changed all the necessary files.
Any help?

Do you have the right layout without X?

are you talking within the xorg.conf? if so yes, see below:
Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "uk"
Option "XkbVariant" ""
EndSection

Are you using hotplugging or did you disable it in xorg.conf? If you didn't disable it, the keyboard settings in xorg will not be read. You have to edit the keyboard policy file. Take a look here:

Yes it was disable I commented the " Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"" line and it work perfectly.
Now regarding this http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Log … e_Keyboard is there a way to use that so my multimedia keys will work?

Using hotpluging and evdev some keys should work....for the keys that don't work you could use keytouch to configure them. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keytouch
