Xorg hotplugging
From Roderich Schupp I received the following instructions:
cp /usr/share/doc/hal/examples/10-x11-input.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
And in order to set a default keymap:
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="input.xkb.rules" contains="base">
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">de</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string">nodeadkeys</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
Into yet another custom file in this directory.
Thank you, I’m going to try that on my next reboot (which may take a week).
