X Init

I'm using xdm to login.

apt-get install xdm

X Fonts

lack of unicode fonts suck.

apt-get install xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-base xfonts-encodings xfonts-intl-japanese xfonts-intl-japanese-big xfonts-scalable xfonts-terminus xfonts-utils

Xorg

Recompile x without config_vt, so that we work with the chrome-OS kernel.

Touchpad

Yes, I did a bad thing, and edited /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf .

This provides middleclick as three fingers, right click as 2 fingers, click as one finger, and the bottom of the pad is divided into click and right click when pressed. It also provides two finger scroll top to bottom, and two finger scroll left to right.

# Example xorg.conf.d snippet that assigns the touchpad driver
# to all touchpads. See xorg.conf.d(5) for more information on
# InputClass.
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, your distribution will likely overwrite
# it when updating. Copy (and rename) this file into

~/.xinitrc

The .xinitrc for my user should switch us to dvorak, and pull in the keymap for this keyboard.

setxkbmap -variant dvorak
if [ -s ~/.Xmodmap ]; then
   xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
fi

~/.Xmodmap

This makes the search button, and the control buttons control:

clear control
clear mod4
keycode 133=Super_L
add control = Control_L Control_R Super_L
add mod4 = Super_R
