Look at my post here:

Grab the bolded sections for the keyboard, they will need to go into the next part.

Then grab my download here:

( cursor2.zip )

in mouse.sh I have the bind

mount --bind /mnt/us/cursor/makexconfig /etc/upstart/makexconfig

And my example makexconfig that has a mouse section in it.

Thats the file you need to edit, and bind, just change the mouse section I put in there into the keyboard section from my earlier post. And change the 'ServerLayout' to have "InputDevice keyboard", instead of "InputDevice mouse"

Then you can use `restart x` instead of killing x

This way you only have to bind 1 file, instead of binding Xorg.conf, and making sure this makexconfig process doesnt muck it up.


The 'upstart' process is what sets this off, you can opten up /etc/[upstart/x.something ] to see it all kick off the makexconfig program.

This worked in the search boxes in the store, but I didnt try it in x-term.

Can anyone link me the package for xterm for PW3?
