Other Setup Info (mainly personal notes)

Keyboard Layout

Setup /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf as such:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "keyboard"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option "XkbLayout" "us"
        Option "XkbVariant" "altgr-intl"
EndSection

Mouse Acceleration

Setup /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-mouse.conf as such:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "mouse"
        Driver "libinput"
        Option "AccelProfile" "flat"
EndSection

• Keep in mind this is because libinput is the device driver.

        Identifier "touchpad"
