Thanks Alan, it seems that I had to reboot for the changes to take. I forgot |
16 |
that hal does all the device management and restarting xorg is not enough. |
17 |
|
18 |
I modified the /usr/share/doc/hal-0.5.11-r8/use-estonian-layout.fdi.bz2 |
19 |
for "gb" and saved under /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-xinput-configuration.fdi. I |
20 |
now have the gb layout. |
21 |
|
22 |
Now if I want multiple keyboards am I supposed to append |
23 |
use-multiple-layouts.fdi.bz2 into the same /10-xinput-configuration.fdi, or |
24 |
should I create a new 20-xinput-configuration.fdi, or should I replace the |
25 |
initially modified 10-xinput-configuration.fdi for gb with the |
26 |
use-multiple-layouts.fdi.bz2? |
27 |
|
28 |
Also, what do these functions mean: |
29 |
|
30 |
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps,compose:ralt" |
