Keyboard distribution problem

Hi, I am a new Arch Linux user and I'm having some trouble with the keyboard distributtion which I set for GNOME.

The problem is that every time I reboot or close my session, it goes back to the default, which is the United States distribution, and I need the Spanish one.

It also reverts any changes I've made to the misc configurations, for example: Esperanto letters or Ctrl+Back+Space for killing the X.

I'm using GNOME 2.32 and I already tried to change this as root, but made no change in the problem.

Maybe I'm missing some text configuration file?

Thanks.

Re: Keyboard distribution problem

For keyboard layouts you probably can set it inside Gnome, but I set it on X itself.

It is explained here:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xo … d_settings

I prefer to set it with setxkbmap, for example for a portuguese layout:

setxkbmap pt

and have it executed on my window manager startup file.

You have a list of keymaps here: /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst

Re: Keyboard distribution problem

I agree with Mektub. A .desktop file in $HOME/.config/autostart/ to exec "setxkbmap es" works everytime.
