I've come across a number of problems (the biggest of which was needed to rebuilt xfce and losing all my settings). The one I'm having real difficulty with at the moment is using a UK keyboard layout. Previously I had this line in my xorg.conf under the "Keyboard" InputDevice section: Option "XkbLayout" "gb" This doesn't work any more, so I followed the advice in this post: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=140908+0+archive/2009/freebsd-questions/20090208.freebsd-questions to put the relevant entry in /usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy/x11-input.fdi Still no joy. I get these lines in Xorg.0.log: (II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input//kbd_drv.so (II) Module kbd: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.5.3, module version = 1.3.2 Module class: X.Org XInput Driver ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 2.1 (**) AT Keyboard: always reports core events (**) Option "Protocol" "standard" (**) AT Keyboard: Protocol: standard (**) Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" (**) Option "XkbRules" "xorg" (**) AT Keyboard: XkbRules: "xorg" (**) Option "XkbModel" "pc105" (**) AT Keyboard: XkbModel: "pc105" (**) Option "XkbLayout" "us" (**) AT Keyboard: XkbLayout: "us" I'm getting around it at the moment by getting xfce to run this at startup: setxkbmap gb But that's hardly an ideal solution. Can anyone suggest a better one? TIA. Peter Harrison.
