Do you have some additional information why this change was made? This sound quite confusing to me. Is there no way to keep xorg.conf controlling which keyboard layout is set?
Just a quick note: With the new xorg-server, I cannot get a de layout anymore: hal overrides xorg.conf (as stated in Xorg.0.log) and hal completely ignores the settings in the fdi file, it always gives me a us layout. I am using the extra/xorg-server version again now.
Could everyone who experience this problem please try what is proposed here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9563#comment25506 (I'm unable to test this because hal doesn't override xorg.conf on my system). -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
