FThe entire xorg.conf.d directory isn't there. I may try adding it and seeing if it works.
Yeah, you have to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ yourself.

As this laptop is only used by me, this is fine.
I will keep looking for a better solution.
I have installed the system as UK English, and on login SLIM seems to follow the UK keyboard layout, but doesn't allow the UK pound sign. Shift+3 gives no character. Once I have logged in, the GUI is in US English, along with a US keyboard layout. The Language indicator in the system tray shows English (US) and any software started has the US keyboard layout.
However, if I run locale, it shows my locale to be en_GB.UTF8. If I use CTRL+ALT+F1 to start a tty, this is in UK English with a UK keyboard layout.
I have run through several tutorials on how to change the language, including dpkg-reconfigure locales, checking the /etc/default.d/locale (UK English) and creating a .i18n file in my home directory forcing UK English and adding a script to source this file on xfce4 startup.
Running through the keyboard layout shows a UK English keyboard layout already selected.
I have installed LXDE, and this is also in US English, which is why I think it may be something to do with slim or GDM.
This is a Lenovo L570 laptop.
Just to make things more interesting, I installed a Lenovo L540 laptop a couple of days before this one from the same USB stick, and that one is working perfectly in UK English, including the keyboard setup.
I installed from the Devuan ASCII 2.1 full iso.
I have checked the system logs, and I can't see anything amiss.
Has anyone seen this before, and have any idea how to fix it?
Sorry for war and peace
Thanks
