Last, @var{extra-config} is a list of strings or objects appended to the

configuration file. It is used to pass extra text to be

@cindex keyboard layout
|
||||
This procedure is especially useful to configure a different keyboard layout
|
||||
than the default US keymap. For instance, to use the ``bépo'' keymap by
|
||||
default on the display manager:
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
(define bepo-evdev
|
||||
"Section \"InputClass\"
|
||||
Identifier \"evdev keyboard catchall\"
|
||||
Driver \"evdev\"
|
||||
MatchIsKeyboard \"on\"
|
||||
Option \"xkb_layout\" \"fr\"
|
||||
Option \"xkb_variant\" \"bepo\"
|
||||
EndSection")

|

#:configuration-file

(list bepo-evdev)))))))))
|

@end example
|
||||
|
||||
The @code{MatchIsKeyboard} line specifies that we only apply the configuration
|
||||
to keyboards. Without this line, other devices such as touchpad may not work
|
||||
correctly because they will be attached to the wrong driver. In this example,
|
||||
the user typically used @code{setxkbmap fr bepo} to set their favorite keymap
|
||||
once logged in. The first argument corresponds to the layout, while the second
|
||||
argument corresponds to the variant. The @code{xkb_variant} line can be omitted
|
||||
to select the default variant.
