hcyildiran,
Make a file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf
My file contains | Code: | Section "InputClass"
Identifier "UK keyboard"
Driver "evdev"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "xkbmodel" "evdev"
Option "xkblayout" "gb"
# Option "xkbvariant" "deadgraveacute"
# Option "xkbrules" "base"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
EndSection |
For me the important lines are | Code: | | Option "xkblayout" "gb" |
so I get a UK keyboard and | Code: | | Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps" |
as I like my left ctrl and caps lock swapped over.
Tune the file to suit your keyboard
