   Hi,
   I am testing latest rolling (2012-Aug-26 18:19:40 build) on my laptop. Boot live CD.

   I have a "qwerz" CH-latin1 keyboard. When setting key mapping using Slitaz tool (in french): Application-préférence-mappage clavier, it generates the correct output in file /etc/keymap.conf:
   

   tux@slitaz:~$ cat /etc/keymap.conf
   fr_CH-latin1
   tux@slitaz:~$

   But this is not sufficient. If you log out and log in, the keymap is still the default one "us".

   I had to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-Keyboard.conf to get the correct key mapping:
   

   tux@slitaz:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-Keyboard.conf
   Section "InputClass"
           Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
           MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
           Option "XkbLayout" "ch"
           Option "XkbOptions" "latin1"
   Endsection
   tux@slitaz:~$

   This time, after loging out and loging in, the key mapping is correct.

   Cheers.

   Thanks, totoetsasoeur. :)

   I, too, was looking for ways to persist my keyboard layout, but I didn't manage to do it, until now. I tried adding a command to local.sh script, but that didn't work.

   But updating 40-Keyboard.conf did it, so thank you again for sharing this.

   You're welcome. Let's hope one dev guy will correct this.
   I will share this on the mailing list, just to make sure it is not forgotten.

   Happy slitaz. :-)

   Merci beaucoup, totoetsasoeur, for the solution you posted! If it wasn't for your help I probably would have dumped SliTaz - but now I have a working Polish keyboard! Just exchanged "ch" for "pl" in the 40-Keyboard.conf and it worked!
