I installed my 6.2-RELEASE without X.org <http://x.org/> and later did a clean install of X.org <http://x.org/> 7.2 from the ports (i.e. I did not upgrade from 6.9->7.2), and I already have the symlink ( X11R6 -> /usr/local ) in /usr. I'm not quite sure if what you said still applies to me though... Thanks for the reply, btw :) On 6/29/07, Sereno Ternullo <serenoternullo@virgilio.it> wrote: > > Novembre ha scritto: > > > > I also have the problem of the ALT key not working when using > > XkbLayout option in xorg.conf.
