Ciao,
Gratsi, I was eying the autostart file, but ended up putting it in
the aptly named /etc/X11/xinit/fixkeyboard. One shouldn't argue with
success, but your solution does seem simpler (and will survive a
reinstall the next time I foobar the system)
Question: Why does the Keyboard layout control module, not fix the
problem immediately? The module's manual says that "Xkb options are
property of X and are not handled in any way by kxkb - it just sets
it up. " It was because of this that I went looking for Xfree86.
With many thanks,
James Henry Maiewski
