Thanks Alan, it seems that I had to reboot for the changes to take. I forgot that hal does all the device management and restarting xorg is not enough. I modified the /usr/share/doc/hal-0.5.11-r8/use-estonian-layout.fdi.bz2 for "gb" and saved under /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-xinput-configuration.fdi. I now have the gb layout. Now if I want multiple keyboards am I supposed to append use-multiple-layouts.fdi.bz2 into the same /10-xinput-configuration.fdi, or should I create a new 20-xinput-configuration.fdi, or should I replace the initially modified 10-xinput-configuration.fdi for gb with the use-multiple-layouts.fdi.bz2? Also, what do these functions mean: Option "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps,compose:ralt" -- Regards, Mick
