I think you did not read the link properly. You are meant to copy the |
43 |
relevant .fdi file from /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi to |
44 |
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi and then modify the last paragraph: |
45 |
|
46 |
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us</merge> |
47 |
<merge key="input.xkb.options" |
48 |
type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge> |
49 |
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string" /> |
50 |
|
51 |
by the adding the above line starting with type= ... |
52 |
|
53 |
If this is not clear please let me know and I will have to post the whole |
54 |
content of the file. |
