/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf comes from systemd.

I have an \n at the end of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf, too, here. That doesn't give a problem, but maybe that's because I removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Marja this look that xorg.0.log from my Cauldron log it have this error.

"\n" is not a valid keyword in this section.
Comment 7 Marja Van Waes 2016-11-12 13:08:50 CET 
Sorry, I hadn't looked well at the attachment.

"\n" should be invisible.... now it has both some invisible "\n"s (where a newline is started) and weird visible "\n"s

I don't have that here, neither in the cauldron where I had removed xorg.conf, nor in a cauldron where I hadn't

What is the timestamp of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf.bak ? (I think it kept its original time stamp)
Comment 8 Otto Leipälä 2016-11-12 15:11:15 CET 
Here it is it may be bit wrongly as i made some test and moved it back and to .bak again.
