Re: [gentoo-user] slim keyboard layout

I haven't find any option to set up in /etc/slim.conf file and I also haven't find any information about it in the gentoo documents. So, I would like to know that somebody does know the answer for this question? If you just have broken keys on notebook - there are not keyboard layout: there are forced numlock. But layout taken from xorg.conf. Look to xorg.conf to common keyboard layout and numlock on line in slim.conf. IMHO no other points of keyboard+slim. -- WBR, Dzianis Kahanovich AKA Denis Kaganovich, http://mahatma.bspu.unibel.by/

András I really doubt that slim has any keyboard-layout functionality - it should be defined by xorg.conf. It's possible that you have a complex DE (gnome/kde), which overrides the X settings when it loads, as I assume that your problem is only in slim, and not also in your DE. A look at your Xorg.0.log, and some more explanation of your situation would be helpful :)

You need to set one on your xorg.conf or another X.org init script. I love the idea that Xorg now just works (TM) without any configuration file, but it could generate something based on what it detected on the first time, or something. -- Claudio Roberto França Pereira
