Yes, I did misread apparently... it doesn't say that at all... maybe that is why. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/xorg-server-1.6-upgrade-guide.xml There is no mention of copying: /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi [...] If you want to make the change permanent, regardless of your desktop environment, you have a few more options : * If you use HAL to manage input devices, copy the following HAL fdi snippet into the fdi file from /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ which you use to control your keyboard. <merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge> If you do not have any custom keyboard rules, you can copy and adapt rules from /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi It never names the file... that; /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi is to be copied to, or anything about the last paragraph. I'm sorry to be so dense here... but I'm missing something still. > <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us</merge> > <merge key="input.xkb.options" That second line above is not present in my copy of: /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi Mick wrote: > type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge> > <merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string" /> > > by the adding the above line starting with type= ... I see (showing line numbers from:[...]10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi [...] 17 </match> 18 19 <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us</merge> 20 <merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string" /> 21 </match> [...] So do you mean to replace 19 and 20 with: ,---- | <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us</merge> | <merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge> `---- Or add the two in box quote after 19... or what?
