Ok, sorry for being a noob, but I need some help. My xkb-keymap looks like nothing in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules All docs I find about xkb-keymap talk about making the file I made and loading it. None talk about editing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst which looks like a different format altogether.
I'm starting to be a bit dubious here, and nothing I found shows me how to make my keymap work again unless I revert to E 0.23, which is what I'm going to do in the meantime, as well, having my keyboard working is a bit important :) (also still need to work on that window locks that don't get saved, issue. Very perplexing) Thanks, Marc On Wed, Sep 16, 2020 at 05:36:30PM +0100, Carsten Haitzler wrote: > On Wed, 16 Sep 2020 07:49:39 -0700 Marc MERLIN <marc_...@merlins.org> said: > > > On Wed, Sep 16, 2020 at 12:56:31PM +0100, Carsten Haitzler wrote: > > > repeated actions so it will have affected timing for sure and thus > > > something > > > that may have worked by luck before because it happened to run at time X > > > and e change stuff at time Y now hae e changing stuff at a different time > > > and thus overwriting any changes you made behind its back. but it's the > > > classic "if you have 2 entities trying to control the same thing you will > > > get conflicts and the solution is to not have 2 things controlling it". > > > this problem is endemic throughout the x11 world as the xserver allows any > > > xclient anywhere to change anything from screensaver timeouts, to dpms > > > timeouts, screen resolution and layout, refresh, keyboard layout, other > > > keymap things etc. > > > > Ok, thanks for comfirming why it doesn't work anymore. > > That said, how do I get my ~/xkb-keymap loaded and working now? > > get your custom keyboard layout somehow listed in the system ones. > like /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst - that's and various other locations > are > where e's xkb config tool gets the list of available layouts. your layout is a > special one for you - and then it to be stored with the data of all the other > system keyboard layouts... i have never gone and modified this so you'll > probably need to google on how to do it... :) but if you can get it listed > there.
