[Bug 206377] New: French Canadian Keyboard support incomplete
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206377 Summary: French Canadian Keyboard support incomplete Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Keywords: French, Install Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 Applications AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: lsatenstein@yahoo.com QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com My company is a prospective implementer of Novell SUSIE10.x linux The past road show this week, provided SUSE10.1 linux Evalation copies. (2 CD set) Canada French is not on this set. I did find it on the web in a SUSE beta version dated 3 September. It is also in all Fedora Core4 and Core5 releases. See how they did it and do likewise. Eventually I was able to make gnome work with it. The Canada(fr) version found does not allow for the setting of the euro symbol to an alternate key (example, alt-char E) Even worse, in text mode, the keyboard presented is the US english, not the Canadian French. US Keyboard layouts do not match Canadian French keyboard layout and of course, accented characters are non existant. This is an implementation stopper. For my organisation, and I would suspect, for many Quebec government organisations. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Sorry, but if it was resolved, why has yast not installed the patch? If you update your 10.1 regularly this is what should have had happened.
I have the correct keyboard in gnome, but not in x11.
Gnome sits on top of X11 and simply uses setxkbmap to configure your keyboard for X11. Therefore I don't understand your question.
In text mode (ctl-alt-f1) my keyboard translation appears as USA text. Probably you didn't configure it with YaST2.
My situation is that I was given a SUSE10.0 set of cd's by Novell, and it should have had the retrofit from 10.1 to 10 for the keyboard. Why do you think so?
Why would Novell give me 10.0 cd's to evaluate when 10.1 is the current version. That is a marketing question, I guess. Indeed. And honestly I have no idea, why you have been given a SUSE Linux 10.0.

Very confusing because first it was said: The past road show this week, provided SUSE10.1 linux Evalation copies. (2 CD set) So either they gave you SUSE 10.0 or they gave SUSE 10.1 (Or even SLEX or SLED 10) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
