That seems to be related to the (changed) way X now handles input devices - old: libinput; new: evdev, if I understood that correctly... > There are some modular configuration files under xorg.conf.d/ > that I did not create > > /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-quirks.conf > /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-evdev-kbd.conf > /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf > > Should I remove them? For testing, yes. Maybe there is something offending? Also note that "old" keyboard configuration might not work anymore, "new" keyboard configuration is needed then. My solution was to add setxkbmap -rules evdev -layout de to my user's ~/.xinitrc file and remove the partial xorg.conf file /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/kbd_de.conf. That of course is not an elegant solution, but worked. However, if you're using a display manager and don't want to use a non-US keyboard layout for it - well, that's an entirely different problem. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
