 |
|
Hi all.
I am working on a device with a special matrix keyboard on it. For this device there exists an userspace driver based on uinput.
The matrix keyboard needs to be configured for a German layout. Until now quite easy:
| Code: |
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "matrix keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchProduct "matrix_keyboard"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
EndSection
|
Now I have an other requirement. I need to be able to connect any USB-Keyboard and use for them maybe an other layout. So we have
the following situation:
matrix keyboard: de layout
usb keyboard: uk layout
I have tried this configuration
| Code: |
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "matrix keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchProduct "matrix_keyboard"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "generic keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbLayout" "uk"
EndSection
|
This will set the layout of every keyboard to uk and this is not wanted. I have looked at the man of xorg.conf, but I did not found a keyword like MatchNotProduct.
Is there a way to handle this?
Thanks,
AC |

If your keyboards are getting the same device numbers maybe adding something like this to each section helps? | Code: | | MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event<number> |
