This configuration file is searched for in the following places when the server is started as a normal user: /etc/X11/<cmdline> /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/<cmdline> /etc/X11/$XORGCONFIG /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/$XORGCONFIG /etc/X11/xorg.conf-4 /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/xorg.conf /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/xorg.conf.<hostname> /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/xorg.conf-4 /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/xorg.conf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.<hostname> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf-4 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf I always just stick it in /etc/ . Anyway, I don't remember where I finally found this answer since it isn't mentioned in man xorg.conf: so here, for a model, is the pertenant section of my xorg.conf you can use as a model: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak" Driver "kbd" EndSection I hope this helps. ====== Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are truth, and his ways are justice; and he is able to bring low those who walk in pride.
