That something could be gdm or your desktop environment, ymmv. if you want it set for your user in GNOME, install gnome-tweak-tool, it's in Typing, iirc. Other desktops have other ways to configure it, but I don't know those off-heart. > For years, probably since the time of that document, I've had > > Option "DontZap" "off" > Option "ZapWarning" "off" > > somewhere in /etc/X11/xorg.con*. It used to work. Now it fails, but DontZap disallows zapping completely, regardless of your xkb settings. But you're setting it to what is the default, so it has no effect. ZapWarning is not an option in Fedora, it's an old SuSE patch that never got merged upstream. Your config has no effect since X server 1.6 or possibly longer. > only in Fedora (at least as far back as F14, worked as recent at > least as F8), so far that I've noticed. F11 had this change, judging by the package names I linked to in that blog post. > They still get the job done in Cauldron's 1.15.99.902, Factory's > 1.15.99.902.2 and Linux Mint LMDE (aka Debian Jessie/Sid) 1.14.3. yeah, and Fedora stays close to upstream, so we don't have those patches.
