[SOLVED]How to set default keyboard setting in xorg.conf

[night_mare007]

Hi,
I use puppy lucid 5.25.

I wish to know how can i script / change a file in the system so every time xorgwizard recreate "xorg.conf" file - it will automaticlly add my keyboard settings:
1. language support: US + additional foreign language.
2. set the ALT+SHIFT as the key for switching the keyboard language.

Today, xorgwizard automatically create xorg.conf and set US as the only language available. so it forces me every time to use "KXB configuration" tool.

I wish that it will do it automatically for my config as I stated above.

THANKS !!!

in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
you should see something like

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Keyboard0"
	Driver      "kbd"
	Option      "XkbRules" "xorg"
	Option      "XkbModel" "pc102"
	Option      "XkbLayout" "us" #xkeymap0
EndSection

try changing that
...for scripting you can add stuff to /root/.xinitrc ($HOME/.xinitrc)

m8...
thank for tha fast reply... but mybe it was too fast: have read my post at all ?

I know what's in xorg.conf.
I can and must set the keyboard settings MANUALLY every time after xorgwizard works ( cuz it's rebuilding xconf.conf and purge/rename the old one ).

I want an AUTOMATED solution.
every idea in that direction will be welcome.

Open /usr/sbin/xorgwizard and find the bit that looks like

Code: Select all

     TEMPSECTION="$TEMPSECTION
	Option      \"XkbRules\" \"xorg\"
	Option      \"XkbModel\" \"pc102\"
	Option      \"XkbLayout\" \"$XKEYMAP\" #xkeymap0"

and replace the last line to

Code: Select all

	Option      \"XkbLayout\" \"$XKEYMAP,us\" #xkeymap0
	Option      \"XkbOptions\" \"grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll\" "
