I tried it in .xsessionrc, but it wasn't picked up on login, so I have put it back in .bashrc for the moment. When it isn't nearly 2am, I'll try creating the xorg.conf.d folder and putting it in there.

Funnily enough, that was exactly the page I was looking at. I had a look at the config files, The entire xorg.conf.d directory isn't there. I may try adding it and seeing if it works.
I do think though that putting it in ~/.xsessionrc is a better idea than .bashrc, thank you.

Okay, I have found a way round it. A bit of a horrible hack, but it does work. I have included the following line in my .bashrc
setxkbmap -model thinkpad -layout gbAs this laptop is only used by me, this is fine.
I will keep looking for a better solution.

I seem to have managed to hit an unusual locale bug with Devuan ASCII.
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
Drew

Fantastic, thank you. That has solved my issues.
I can now use my tablet again, as a tablet you need to plug in a USB keyboard to log in isn't much use as a tablet!
Thank you again.
Thanks

Good Morning,
I can't seem to get Florence started on SLIM. I have searched for information on SLIM and Florence, but there seems to be little available.
Thanks
Drew

Good Morning,
I am currently running on a Fujitsu-Siemens Stylistic tablet. The tablet is old-school, and has a built in WACOM stylus input. This is working fine in MATE using the Florence on-screen keyboard.
The bit I can't get working is getting Florence to work on SLIM. This makes logging in a bit of a challenge.
Is there any way to get this working, or failing that, what is the best login manager to swap this out with so I don't have to plug in a keyboard just to log in?
I appreciate any help I am offered for this.
Thanks
Drew
