I didn't even realize there's a special package for that, in BLFS or gentoo. Since configuring X is a pain (for me), I just try to keep a file that works with my hardware. As for us_intl, I don't remember why I have it instead of us, but probably it has to do with dead keys, which I need. Anyway, I checked that us_intl exists in /opt/xorg/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us_intl (/opt/xorg being $XORG_PREFIX). In gentoo, symbols are in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols, so I made /usr/share/X11 a symlink to /opt/xorg/share/X11, just in case. > I would start by doing Xorg -configure and substituting the xkb > options it give you into your xorg.conf.

Until then I'm connected via ssh to the gentoo part and then chroot to the LFS part... BTW, I have a small(?) problem that may or may not be related. On booting, the console cursor (i.e. the blinking underscore) appears misplaced. I can login but the cursor is a few lines above. If I change to another VT and then come back, the cursor becomes normal. Is this a symptom of some known problem? > -- > Dan > Thanks.
