Hi,

This is what my modification looks like:

                     (slim-service-type
                      config =3D> (slim-configuration
                                 (inherit config)
                                 (startx (xorg-start-command
                                          #:configuration-file
                                          (xorg-configuration-file
                                           #:extra-config
                                           (list marble-mouse-settings
                                                 dvorak-evdev))))))

i.e. I=E2=80=99m capturing the default config, inherit from it, and the ove=
rride
the =E2=80=9Cstartx=E2=80=9D field.  You are capturing the default config a=
s =E2=80=9Cstartx=E2=80=9D
and then replace the configuration with the value returned by
=E2=80=9Cxorg-start-command=E2=80=9D.  That doesn=E2=80=99t look right.
