I've been trying to get evdev working as my keyboard input device so that I can get rid of the, albeit fairly small, xf86-input-keyboard, but it doesn't seem to work right. Here's the relevant portion of my xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "evdev" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0" #Option "XkbModel" "evdev" #Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak" EndSection I've tried uncommenting the two Xkb Option lines, but it yielded no results. By default, X uses the us QWERTY layout, but it's a little borked. For example, what should be Super_L shows up as KP_Separator in xev. I can get everything working how I want, with Dvorak too, by using the command `setxkbmap -layout dvorak -model evdev`. It outputs: Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us' but it works how I want, with the exception of Super_R and Super_L added to Mod4, which is fixed with a simple xmodmap command. It also seems to give tilda troubles whether I input the command into tilda or an xterm. Through an xterm, tilda crashed on the first key input. Through tilda, it just wouldn't accept any keyboard input, accepting mouse input fine. This is xorg-x11-7.0-r1. I don't know what other information to add, asides from my `emerge --info`. I'd rather not have to put the setxkbmap and xmodmap commands into my .xinitrc or something.
