Description Yaroslav Isakov 2008-09-26 16:58:05 UTC 
After recent update I found that I can't switch keyboard layout. So, I try to disable HAL in xorg with
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
in xorg.conf, and layout switching not works again. After I change
Driver "evdev"
to
Driver "kbd", layout switching works!

Comment 3 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-10-29 13:20:24 UTC 
If you want to use evdev, you'll also have to change the XkbModel to "evdev".

But the better way to fully use evdev is to remove all input sections from your xorg.conf and configure HAL to report correct values to Xorg.

Please don't hesitate to reopen this bug if you still have issues.

Thanks
