US layout would always, "just work". Like there were times when I'd have to type something when it was interpreted as US layout... But... Would putting that command in your ~/.xinitirc or some equivalent work? It kind of would be nice if it could be done in the xorg.conf I do agree. pgpKmg8cgYjEv.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I need a way to get X11 to boot into dvorak layout mode without having to look up this e-mail to find the command to set the layout to dvorak. My current xorg.conf has: but does not do anything useful.

I think console related logs will be in your syslog or dmesg, if this involves errors from interaction with the kernel. Not sure anything else would be recorded by default. If you use ssdm as a DM look for ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log for X session logs. > here are my configs, 2010 version has: > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 7 2020 xorg.conf.d > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2490 Oct 21 2010 xorg.conf.good > > Section "InputDevice" > Identifier "Keyboard0" > Driver "kbd" > Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak" > EndSection > > Since that was too simple and made too much sense, they had to make it > uglier... > current active config: > > Section "InputClass" > Identifier "keyboard-layout" > MatchIsKeyboard"on" > Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak" > Option "XkbModel" "pc104" > #Option "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle" > EndSection > > > atg@tortoise ~ $ setxkbmap > Error loading new keyboard description > atg@tortoise ~ $ Try this: $ setxkbmap -print -verbose 10 > still have package x11-apps/xinput-1.6.3installed even > tho eclean-dist wants it gone, must be error because no clue how x11 is > supposed to work without it. =( There was a news item three years ago about this change: https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2020-04-03-deprecation-of-legacy-x11-input-drivers.html Try to set your keyboard layout manually to minimise typing errors: setxkbmap -layout us -variant ,dvorak Set in your make.conf: INPUT_DEVICES="libinput" Then run: emerge -uaNDv --with-bdeps=y @world emerge --depclean -v -a revdep-rebuild -v -- -a to bring your packages up to date. Finally, revisit your xorg.conf, these days the configuration is in seperate files under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf. Something like this ought to work: Section "InputClass" Identifier "libinput keyboard catchall" MatchIsKeyboard "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "libinput" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbVariant" ",dvorak" Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" EndSection signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
[gentoo-user] EMERGENCY: X11 KEYBOARD MAPPING STOPPED WORKING!!!!
having extreme trouble typing this, haven't had to type qwerty in fifteen years, keyboard mapping I need went poof during recent update, rebooted for kernel 6.3, X11 is NOT recording logs to /var/log since last year. Console seemed to be barfing about not knowing what a dvorak is even though it is the only other ISO standard keyboard mapping. No way to access console barf from within X11, no idea where logs are if they exist. here are my configs, 2010 version has: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 7 2020 xorg.conf.d -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2490 Oct 21 2010 xorg.conf.good Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak" EndSection Since that was too simple and made too much sense, they had to make it uglier... current active config: Section "InputClass" Identifier "keyboard-layout" MatchIsKeyboard "on" Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" # Option "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle" EndSection atg@tortoise ~ $ setxkbmap Error loading new keyboard description atg@tortoise ~ $ still have package x11-apps/xinput-1.6.3 installed even tho eclean-dist wants it gone, must be error because no clue how x11 is supposed to work without it. =( Yet agan Linux manufactures a new insoluble problem without warning and for no reason. -- Beware of Zombies. =O #EggCrisis #BlackWinter White is the new Kulak.
