See archived mail [1] by > Nicholas Mailhot about some of this. > https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-February/msg02131.html FYI, when reading the above message, be very careful, or you wind up hitting this bug next: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435104 Xorg crashes on pressing of any key In my case to solve this latter problem *don't* follow Nicholas's note for step 2 or later! You *do* want this section in your xorg.conf file: Section "ServerFlags" Option "AllowEmptyInput" "True" Option "AutoAddDevices" "True" Option "AutoEnableDevices" "True" EndSection In my case, I also need to have a section for the Synaptics touchpad. See my xorg.conf in the referenced bugzilla. Adding in the suggested file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-keyboard-layout.fdi turns out to be what broke hal, which is what caused the keyboard map to be null. So don't do this. Here's what I get from hal now: $ lshal | grep xkb input.xkb.layout = 'us' (string) input.xkb.model = 'evdev' (string) input.xkb.rules = 'base' (string) input.xkb.variant = '' (string) And this works for me. -- Matt Domsch Linux Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
