7 You have at least 2 courses of action:
8
9 1) Add a udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
10
11 # A rule to define our keyboard layout.
12 KERNEL=="event*", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}=="?*", ENV{xkblayout}="gb",
13 ENV{xkbmodel}="pc105"
14
15 2) Add a configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
16
17 # Configuration for evdev-controlled input devices.
18 Section "InputClass"
19 Identifier "keyboard"
20 Driver "evdev"
21 Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
22 Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
23 Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
24 MatchIsKeyboard "on"
25 EndSection
26
27 Section "InputClass"
28 Identifier "pointer"
29 Driver "evdev"
30 MatchIsPointer "on"
31 EndSection
