I created a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file using # X -configure and added/changed the following section: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" EndSection The last Option line isn't necessary, but it makes it possible to terminate the X server by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, which has been deactivated in recent default configurations. If you add the above mentioned Section "InputDevice", make sure that the Section "ServerLayout" contains a CoreKeyboard entry matching the given identifier. In my case, Section "ServerLayout" looks like: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "XFree86 Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" Option "Clone" "off" EndSection HTH Christian Walther _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
