Looking at what I'm using on the desktop, I see I added the following to ~/.xinitrc in January to reinstate the old behaviour for xorg-7.4. Apologies for missing this last night - setxkbmap -option "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" > I do not know, if it is worth ( and easy ) to install "xf86-input-evdev > driver" ? > To add to Andy's reply, I'm adding the following in ~/.xinitrc, because soem of the key codes differ between the evdev and kbd drivers: # 2007-10-01 keyboard autorepeat has gone, restore it xset r rate # 2009-10-02 for evdev, force repeat on two of the cursor keys xset r 113 xset r 116 Might be that neither of these are necessary. The cursor keys were probably the 'down' and 'right' arrows (if needed, noticeable when trying to edit an existing file in vim in a terminal). For desktops, it's one driver instead of two. The only reason I've found not to use it is that on my ibook it prevents mouse button emulation from working (and only having one mouse button is *not* useful). > > > > Just out of interest, why are you using 1.8 instead of 1.7 or 1.9 ? > > 1.8.2 is the actual release included in the book.
