having extreme trouble typing this, haven't had to type qwerty in
fifteen years, keyboard mapping I need went poof during recent update,
rebooted for kernel 6.3,
X11 is NOT recording logs to /var/log since last year. Console seemed
to be barfing about not knowing what a dvorak is even though it is the
only other ISO standard keyboard mapping. No way to access console barf
from within X11, no idea where logs are if they exist.
here are my configs, 2010 version has:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 7 2020 xorg.conf.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2490 Oct 21 2010 xorg.conf.good
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak"
EndSection
Since that was too simple and made too much sense, they had to make it
uglier...
current active config:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard-layout"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
# Option "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle"
EndSection
atg@tortoise ~ $ setxkbmap
Error loading new keyboard description
atg@tortoise ~ $
still have package x11-apps/xinput-1.6.3 installed even
tho eclean-dist wants it gone, must be error because no clue how x11 is
supposed to work without it. =(
Yet agan Linux manufactures a new insoluble problem without warning and
for no reason.
