 +===Slackware 15.0===
 +
 +From Slackware 15.0 on, since ''libinput'' can be used as well, there's two files you can edit:
 +
 +<code>cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keyboard-layout-evdev.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/</code>
 +and
 +<code>cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/91-keyboard-layout-libinput.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/</code>
 +
 +Edit these files specifying the layout (eg. ''gb''):
 +
 +<code>nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keyboard-layout-evdev.conf</code>
 +
 +<code>Section "InputClass"
 +        Identifier "keyboard-all"
 +        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
 +        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
 +        Driver "evdev"
 +        Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
 +        #Option "XkbVariant" ""
 +        Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
 +EndSection</code>
 +
 +And same with:
 +
 +<code>nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/91-keyboard-layout-libinput.conf</code>
