If it still doesn't work after these changes, check the date/time on your /var/log/Xorg.0.log. If the date/time corresponds to the last time you loaded X or after, cut-n-paste that into your next reply so we can have a look at it.
Hmm, the file is 41Kb, so i'll paste here only the lines that seems relevant to me (and related to the keyboard):
(**) Option "CoreKeyboard" (**) Keyboard[0]: Core Keyboard (**) Option "Protocol" "Standard" (**) Keyboard[0]: Protocol: Standard (**) Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" (**) Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" (**) Keyboard[0]: XkbRules: "xfree86" (**) Option "XkbModel" "pc105" (**) Keyboard[0]: XkbModel: "pc105" (**) Option "XkbLayout" "be" (**) Keyboard[0]: XkbLayout: "be" (**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off" (**) Keyboard[0]: CustomKeycodes disabled (**) Option "Protocol" "explorerps/2" (**) Mouse[1]: Device: "/dev/input/mice" (**) Mouse[1]: Protocol: "explorerps/2" (**) Option "CorePointer" (**) Mouse[1]: Core Pointer (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" (==) Mouse[1]: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50 (==) Mouse[1]: Buttons: 3 (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse[1]" (type: MOUSE) (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard[0]" (type: KEYBOARD) (EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
Well, obviously it's not finding the keymap you entered into the xorg.conf file. Go back to my previous email on that topic and make sure the xorg.conf parameter corresponds to an actual file.
I saw there is also a file SaX.log there. I find it very informative as to the trouble I have encountered while trying to configure the keyboard with SaX2. Here are some lines I find interesting (between "<" and ">" are comments I've added):
13-Jun 23:23:57 <X> Logging File contents: /tmp/sax2-8841/xorg.conf [ <content of xorg.conf here> ] sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file 13-Jun 23:24:10 <X> Logging File contents: /var/log/xlog [ < ... > [....]
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "be" (**) Keyboard[0]: XkbLayout: "be"
I thought XkbLayout was supposed to be "be-latin1". So the above explains the error.
I tried again to change the Option "XkbLayout" "be" to Option "XkbLayout" "be-latin1" in the files: /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-Linux1 /etc/X11/xorg.conf.saxsave /etc/X11/XF86Config hit CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE and re-log in ... No improvement. (I restored everything to the initial "be" as to not further mess the X config, and because of the "Please do not edit this file" :-) ) BTW, the "be-latin1" for XkbLayout is linked to the file /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/azerty/be-latin1.map.gz Am I right ? I haven't found a be-latin1 file somewhere else.)
