Just in case anyone else runs into this, I've finally gotten around to fixing it
properly:
mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
cat > /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/keyboard.conf << EOF
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "true"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
EOF
Thanks to the guys at ArchLinux for documenting this at
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Example:_Keyboard_layout_and_model_on_Acer_5920G_Laptop.
I now have a config-less X server (well, no xorg.conf, just the override
above), using Udev
for its device detection, and no HAL in sight! The only drivers I built were
evdev & vesa.
Regards,
Matt.
