Re: New Xorg - different key-codes

Hi,

This command sets the keyboard layout. You are supposed to set the keyboard 
layout which matches the physical layout of the hardware. This hadn't 
changed, it's a fundamental part of X11 since I know it (X11 6.5) and even 
before...

For those which had an explicit setting in xorg.conf (like me) but switched 
now to nothing or the "match" snippets for mouse or kbd: you can specify 
this already in the config. Here is what I use:

{1} <FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT> [video:/]
(201) root_at_ttypts/1 # cat /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/kbd.conf Section 
"InputClass"
    Identifier "Keyboard0"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "libinput"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "de"
    Option "XkbRules" "evdev"
EndSection

{0} <FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT> [video:/]
(202) root_at_ttypts/1 # cat /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/mouse.conf
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Mouse0"
    MatchIsPointer "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "libinput"
# Option "Protocol" "auto"
# Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
---snip---

Note, I use this in sysctl.conf:
---snip---
# enable hardware devices in evdev
kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=12
---snip---

When I did that, I just validated that I was able to login to KDE (the 
particular X11 is feeding a home-cinema setup and is not used often, I just 
decided to update it as long as I remembered there was a change to xorg 
with a config impact). I didn't check any up/down/umlauts, I just plain 
assumed it works (and I still assume it does). The above is just meant to 
provide some info how to make it work globally instead of having a setting 
in each local startup per user.

Bye,
Alexander.
