Sparhawk, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Thank you for your understanding.

Hence, it contains the following line: MatchProduct "TrulyErgonomic.com Truly Ergonomic Computer Keyboard" I know that this match triggers fine, because it activates at-home-modifier [1] as expected, only for this keyboard. I can confirm this by commenting out the following at-home-modifier line, which results in a lack of activation. Option "TransMod" "36:64" However, it seems that the xkb options are not triggering. For example this line: Option "XKbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch_multikey,numpad:pc,ctrl:swapcaps" Similarly to above, I've tried removing ",ctrl:swapcaps" and restarting, but this makes no difference. From `setxkbmap -query`, no options are set. Oddly enough, if I comment out the "MatchProduct" line, then this line functions as expected, as confirmed by restarting with either ",ctrl:swapcaps" present or absent. (Obviously this then acts on all keyboards.) I've also tried this with similar results for: Option "XkbLayout" "ara" Option "XkbVariant" "" Finally, I've also tried manually changing the settings of they integrated keyboard. First I find the id with `xinput list`, then run setxkbmap -device 15 -layout us -variant altgr-intl -option lv3:ralt_switch_multikey,numpad:pc,ctrl:swapcaps This works as expected. In case it's important, here is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-TECK- keymap.conf : Section "InputClass" Identifier "TECK" Driver "evdev" # If you save this file under xorg.conf.d/ : Option "AutoServerLayout" "on" MatchIsKeyboard "on" MatchProduct "TrulyErgonomic.com Truly Ergonomic Computer Keyboard" ### at-home-modifier options begin here. # The basic option. Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbVariant" "altgr-intl" Option "XKbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch_multikey,numpad:pc,ctrl:swapcaps" Option "TransMod" "36:64" EndSection I'm running Kubuntu 13.04, KDE 4.10.5, with "Configure layouts" and "Configure keyboard options" unchecked in System Settings. Further, I can see that the settings are being overwritten by /etc/default/keyboard . I can change this file manually, and see that xkb changes on restart. Is there a workaround that will allow me to configure keyboards separately? I tried removing this file or commenting it all out, but upon restart, xkb still ignored xorg.conf, using some kind of hard-coded default values.
