Didn't you see my previous message? Xorg *does not* ignore xorg.conf here. I din't even touch hal's file.
Nice for you, but that did not work for me and there are some users reporting that problem, too.
completely broken for me too now. urgh. revert it.
xorg.conf is not recognised anymore.
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "keyboard" Option "XkbModel" "cherrybluea" Option "XkbLayout" "de(nodeadkeys)" Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin" EndSection

lol, I just figured out why this worked for me too (like Roman). I didn't have hal running :D
Yes, this should be reverted. This new methods makes configuration inflexible, and adds some other disadvantages: - all keyboards have the same layout, no way to set an individual keyboard layout - keyboard layouts can only be configured by root, there's no way to configure keyboard layouts other than editing a root-owned fdi file
Hmm, how could keyboard layout be configured before? Editing xorg.conf requires root access too. And setxkbmap seems to be sill working. I had no luck with xmodmap though.
