Change the line

Hi,
i am trying to run a 2 seat configuration on Fedora. Now i am facing a
stupid problem with my keyboards, the right Meta (AltGr) key is not
working as well as the arrow (cursor) keys.
What i did: The only way i found was to let the gdm start to X-Server,
each with different layout settings. Basically it works fine, but in
order to have two separate keyboards, i had to change the keyboard
driver in the xorg.conf from kbd to evdev.
How can i fix this?
I guess this is either something pretty stupid or so simple that no one
dared to explain on the web.
From my /etc/gmd/cust.conf:
[servers]
0=Standard0
1=Standard1
[server-Standard0]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/bin/Xorg -br -audit 0 -layout Seat0 -sharevts -novtswitch
flexible=true
[server-Standard1]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/bin/Xorg -br -audit 0 -layout Seat1 -sharevts -novtswitch
flexible=true
And the keyboard config from the xorg.conf (when activating driver kbd
and deactivating evdev all keys work fine):
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
# Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
EndSection
Thanks
Harald

Thanks Christoph,
changing the lines helped, at least for almost all keys. Only thing is
that the key on the very left on the lowest row (close to left Shift and
'Y' or 'Z') does not work at all.
On the german layout this is (bad luck) on the third level the pipe
symbol for the shell commands.
If someone has any hint, i appreciate hearing or reading it. Otherwise
it might be possible to use Xmodmap to enable this key again.
Regards
Harald

i used a self created xkb layout instead of Xmodmap. I was able to
define the missing key, now everything is working as expected
