X keyboard layout and synaptics touchpad config issues

[Eric McCorkle]

Hello,

I've been unable to run X for some time, now I'm back because the i915 
driver is operational.  However, it seems some of my old configs are 
stale, and I'm having some issues.

First, I can't seem to set the X keyboard layout to dvorak.  I had the 
usual 'Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak"' setting, which worked in the past, 
but doesn't seem to work now.

My Xorg.0.log file contains these lines:

(II) LoadModule: "kbd"
(II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input/kbd_drv.so
(II) Module kbd: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
...
(II) Using input driver 'kbd' for 'kbdmux'
(**) kbdmux: always report core events
(**) Option "Protocol" "standard"
(**) Option "XkbRules" "base"
(**) Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "us"
(**) Option "config-info" "devd:kbdmux"
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "kbdmux" (type: KEYBOARD, id 7)
(II) config/devd: kbdmux is enabled, ignoring device atkbd0

It looks like it's ignoring the  layout setting (I've tried XkbVariant 
dvorak too, to  no avail)


Also, the synaptics touchpad driver seems to be sending the mouse 
pointer to the upper left corner of the screen whenever I double-click.
