There have been serious changes in how xorg detects input (see ports/UPDATING
20090123). It now relies on hald to provide keyboard and mouse configuration.
For us keyboard layout it's as simple as starting dbus and hald
(dbus_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES") for localization you need something like
this:
$cat /usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy/x11-input.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard">
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">de</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
Ugly, isn't it. Of course you want to change "de" to whatever your layout is
called.
