I just looked at the file /usr/lib64/libxkbcommon.so with strings(1). (The src is better, but this was quicker.)
It includes these strings in succession: ,---- | Include path added: %s | Include path failed: %s (%s) | /etc/xkb | XKB_CONFIG_EXTRA_PATH | /usr/share/X11/xkb | XKB_CONFIG_ROOT | %s/xkb | %s/.config/xkb | %s/.xkb | XKB_LOG_LEVEL `---- So /etc/xkb ought to work. As ought ~/.xkb and ~/.config/xkb. Ang you should be able to use the environmental variables (set them before starting Xorg) XKB_CONFIG_EXTRA_PATH to add another path, or XKB_CONFIG_ROOT to completely replace /usr/share/X11/xkb. I also tried running: ,---- | strace xkbcli how-to-type --layout us U+0229|&fgrep /etc `---- which invluded the line: ,---- | newfstatat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/xkb", 0x7ffdcd70b0d0, 0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) `---- which strongly suggests /etc/xkb is supported. At least by default. Did anything show up in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log when you tried /etc/xkb? -JimC -- James Cloos <[email protected]> OpenPGP: https://jhcloos.com/0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6.asc
