I've just configured my i386 'current' system (by hand, largely based on
changed files in my 1.5.2 system)...
Everything is fine except that I've the wrong keyboard map in X (the
console is fine).
I copied /usr/X11R6/* /etc/X11/* and /etc/XF86Config straight off my
working 1.5.2 system. The desktop login comes up and appears to work.
However the keyboard map is no longer correct.
I'm using a uk keyboard (with '|'/'\' to the left of 'Z' etc) but I
think it is using the US map (#, @, ", \, | and ~ are in the wrong
places).
Any idea which config file I forgot to move (I think I've checked all
the files in /etc), or is something 'broken' elsewhere?
X might be using /etc/X11/XF86Config which contains:
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
On the other hand I have a /etc/XV86Config which is in the 'old' format
but something set it to:
Xkbkeycodes "xfree86"
XkbTypes "default"
XkbCompat "default"
XkbSymbols "en_US(pc102)+gb"
XkbGeometry "pc"
