This is what I have in my XF86Config: Section "Keyboard" Protocol "Standard" AutoRepeat 300 45 LeftAlt Meta RightAlt Meta ScrollLock Compose RightCtl Control XkbKeycodes "xfree86" XkbTypes "default" XkbCompat "default" XkbSymbols "us(pc101)+dvorak" XkbGeometry "pc" XkbRules "xfree86" XkbModel "dvorak" XkbLayout "us" EndSection It works except the = and ] keys are transposed! I have no idea hov to fix that.
