 |
|
Hi,
I'm facing a very unpleasant issue with setxkbmap. This is what the relevant part of xorg.conf looks like:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
|
And everything works just fine... until I run "setxkbmap -layout us" and half of the keyboard stops working. According to xev the keycodes were different, so I became suspicious and compared the output of "xmodmap -pke" before and after doing this switch "from US to US". And it differs a lot, see for yourself!
Now you may wonder why I would run such a useless command. The thing is that the same disaster happens when I switch to the Czech keyboard layout. Specifying "-model pc105" doesn't change anything. The notebook is a Hewlett-Packard 8710p.
Please, do you have any idea why setxkbmap messes my keyboard layout like this? |

Fixed it. If I use "evdev" as the model, everything works as expected  |
