Hi Didier,

Sorry, no luck on fixing the keyboard layout. I tried everything I could think of to do, but no luck.

Hi Brandt,

It could be an issue with the file /usr/share/salixtools/keymaps leading to write in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keymap.conf

Option                          "XkbLayout" "dvorak"
instead of:
Option                          "XkbLayout" "dvorak-l"

when running keyboardsetup or gtkkeyboardsetup.

Please edit this 10-keymap.conf as root, replacing dvorak by dvorak-l, restart a window manager. Does it now work?

Best regards,
Didier
