Hello,
This breaks userspace. Now XkbLayout in xorg.conf.d is ignored for my
keyboard 0d62:3740 Darfon Electronics Corp. (built into my laptop)
Attached a simple patch that fixes the issue. Obviously, a revert is
probably a better idea ; or even better yet, do the part that was kept
aside to "keep the code simple".
Given this is happening on a consumer laptop (Alienware m15 R6), I'm
probably not the only one with this issue.
Thanks for reading.
