According to Michael Gmelin <freebsd@grem.de> on Mon, 01/29/24 at 14:55: > > Did you try if it works directly after running each of the commands > or did you restart x11? I believe I said that I restarted x11 each time (I placed these extra commands in my .xinitrc in which I had an original setxkbmap command) > These settings change the running x11 session and take immediate effect, > restating x11 will start with your defaults and is not required for this test. So, okay, in a brand new xterm I tried to edit a multiline file. I verified that moving around in this file using my arrow keys did not work. Then in that same xterm window I issued each of those above three commands in turn, each time going back to edit that file and try to move around within that file using the arrow keys. None of that effort made any change in the action of my arrow keys. > If this doesn't help, I would suggest to start without any specific > xorg.conf file(a) (just move it out of the way) and see if the > defaults (in combination with one of setxkbmap commands) does the trick. Believe me when I say that was exactly what I did when trying to get any x11 session to appear on my monitor. With an empty /etc/X11 and empty /usr/local/etc/X11/worg.conf.d directory(s) I could not get x11 to work. > Sharing you xorg log won't hurt either. I did that in answer to another op's reply.
