GDM keyboard layout

23 June 2022, 18:47:48

Hi,

i installed a fresh artix with openrc.
Is there a way to change the keyboard layout for gdm?
i've tested https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GNOME/GDM#GDM_ignores_my_keyboard_layout and

Code: [Select]

#/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
	MatchIsKeyboard "on"
	Option "XkbLayout" "de"
EndSection

Is there a way to enable logging for X?
I don't knwo the right Identifier for my keyboard and there is not xorg-log.

Thanks

I'm confused, are you running Xorg as root or not?

How do you run Xorg? with a login manager or using startx?

If Xorg is running as root, you should stop doing it and only launch Xorg as a normal user.

I run GNOME with gdm service (openrc).

Now i have rebuilded gnome-shell with the patch provided by Gentoo Wiki and it works.
