:?: udev to define keyboard layout

Since udev starts at sysinit level and is a part of system set,
would it be reasonable to implement udev rules to define keyboard language layout
for console (instead of /etc/init.d/consolefonts and keymaps),
and for Xorg (instead of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf)?
so once rules defined - keyboard will behave the same in console and Xorg.

need to translate

Code: Select all

Section "InputClass"
   Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
   MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
   Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru(winkeys)"
   Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:alt_shift_toggle,compose:rwin,grp_led:scroll"
   Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
   Option "GrabDevice" "True"
EndSection

to

Code: Select all

/etc/udev/rules.d/111-kbd.ru.rules:
## via Xorg
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="event?", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="ffff", ATTRS{idProduct}=="8081",RUN+="/usr/bin/setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us,ru -variant ,winkeys,winkeys"
ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="event?", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="ffff", ATTRS{idProduct}=="8081", RUN+="/usr/bin/setxkbmap -model 102 -layout us_intl"

but seems here should be better solution
