[SOLVED] lost my keyboard keymap after upgrade

m4co · 2010-06-23 08:05:09

Hi!

After this upgrade (xorg among them), my keyboard is set to english again,

- in rc.conf the keymap is correctly set to sv-latin1

- typing loadkeys sv-latin1 in the terminal does not help

- if I log in as root, typing in the terminal gives me the right keyboard?

So I dont get it what could be missing here,
even during boot it says loading keymap sv-latin1 OK

Both the keymap you see in rc.conf (which is the keymap applied when booting) and loadkeys have no effect on X. You're probably after setxkbmap.

Anyway, xorg-xserver no longer makes use of hal. See http://www.archlinux.org/news/502/. Identical thread here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=99556.

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
        Option "XkbLayout" "sv-latin1"
EndSection
