This is a rather bold statement, given that running without an xorg.conf has been the default for quite some time. Do you really think this does not work for the majority of users? >> Apparently you had figured it out at some time already; try bisecting >> your xorg.conf until… > > No, I hadn't. The keyboard didn't work, and I fixed that. If you don't set AutoAddDevices to off in xorg.conf, any configuration for the kbd driver will be ignored. Have you been aware of that? > Again, what's the alternative to what I specified for the keyboard in > xorg.conf? Is there automatic and correct detection of all keyboards > now? Not automatic (the layout cannot really be guessed), but it's done in /etc/default/keyboard. The advantage of that approach is that you have the same keyboard layout in X and on the console. I think keyboard-configuration will migrate your settings from xorg.conf, but it's been a while since I've done that. > And another example: How do you disable DontZap if not in your > xorg.conf? XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" in /etc/default/keyboard, for instance; "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" gives you a dialog to enable that option. >> …your keyboard does not work anymore.
