<p>Thanks for the reply.</p>
<p>I also found scattered sites proposing sth in the lines of:</p>
<pre>You can make the setting persistent by creating and X config file in <code>/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/</code> with the specific settings.</pre>
<pre><code>Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbModel" "x1carbon"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,de"
Option "XKbOptions" ""
EndSection
ps: the messages take a day+ to appear in the list .Is this technical issue?

I managed to create a custom xkb mapping using a home
directory which <br>
contains a xkb keymap description (my-map-usgr-workman) and a
symbols <br>
file and feeding those in xkbcomp:<br>
<br>
~/.config/xkb$ tree<br>
.<br>
├── my-map-usgr-workman<br>
├── symbols<br>
│ ├── ergogr<br>
<br>
$ xkbcomp -I$HOME/.config/xkb my-map-usgr-workman $DISPLAY<br>
<br>
My question is : What is the way to make those changes
permanent during <br>
a reboot?.<br>
<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
Some related guides i have found regarding on ways to create a
new xkb <br>
layout or variant and how to enable those changes (two tasks
that go <br>
together usually).<br>
<br>
- a couple of sites proposing the local folder way of enabling
a new layout<br>
