Good suggestion, the Handbook should be changed according to that if it really works (and is, in my opinion, easier). My statement regarding the xorg.conf _and_ XML fun wasn't a personal experience and testing (xorg-server-1.7.7_2,1 here), but the Handbook said so: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-config.html It's mentioned directly beneath the XML fun in 6.4.2. There's also a ServerLayout _or_ ServerFlags statement for the ``Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"'' setting, right before the XML fun for setting a localized keyboard begins... :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
