I think you have to run this at every login, but you do not have to do that manually. In scripts I would make sure to discard the spurious warnings about keycodes without symbols: xkbcomp layout.xkb $DISPLAY &>/dev/null Alternatively, you can edit the relevant keymap in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ or create a copy with a new name, modify the copy and configure Xorg to always load the new layout (or both the new and the old layout with a key combination to quickly switch between the two). -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
