Since I've hit the same problem, I'll ask here : what's the proper way
to use HAL input hotplug in Xorg but to still have _some_ configuration
be read from xorg.conf (or elsewhere?) so that I get a French keyboard
layout in GDM?
FDI files? xorg.conf? evdev parameters?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
