It doesn't really seem to make a difference. |

Because sometimes it doesn't work at all when I don't and because I put |
| 44 |
that there a long time ago and forgot about it. My ~/.xinitrc is about |
| 45 |
20 years old and has been modified as needed over time. |

I can only say it worked fine with Fedora and used to work with Debian. |
| 48 |
Since someone keeps changing all the time how to configure your |
| 49 |
keyboard, and since different distributions might use different ways of |
| 50 |
doing it, I really don't know anymore how to configure a keybord --- |
| 51 |
which should be simple and easy to begin with as it used to be. I |
| 52 |
merely want my keyboard to work ... |

Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons |
| 57 |
might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable. |
