30 Hi Hartmut,
31
32 Thank you for your input -- it works for me so far.
33 Nevertheless I am alittle confused...
34
35 1.) gpm and copy'n'paste on the console and under X11 works for me.
36 2.) my 10-evdev.conf is located under /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
37 3.) The option I am using for the german keyboard layout is 'Option "xkb_layout" "de"'
38 and it works.
39
40 May it possible, that you have to recompile xf86-input-evdev, xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse?
41
42 Best regards and a Happy New Year!!!
