To set the keyboard layout in my config.scm I replaced %desktop-services
with this:
(modify-services %desktop-services
(slim-service-type config =>
(slim-configuration
(inherit config)
(startx (xorg-start-command
#:configuration-file
(xorg-configuration-file
;; Setup X to use a swiss german keyboard layout.
#:extra-config
'("Section \"InputClass\"
Identifier \"keyboard-all\"
Option \"XkbLayout\" \"ch\" ; <~ replace \"ch\" with \"it\"
MatchIsKeyboard \"on\"
EndSection")))))))
This sets the default keyboard layout of X to ch. All you have to do is
replace the \"ch\" with \"it\". It has the added benefit of setting the
keyboard layout in SLIM so that you do not have to worry about special
characters in your login password.
