I have recently aquired SuSE 8.0 Professional and being a complete newbie to LINUX I have not yet resolved this problem I'm having. My question to you is... How can I install an Icelandic Keyboard layout? If anybody out there could help me out It would be most appreciated. With warm regards from Iceland

How can I install an Icelandic Keyboard layout? If anybody out there could help me out It would be most appreciated.
An Icelandic keyboard layout seems to be available:
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/is
You should be able to select it by entering "XkbLayout" "is"
into the "InputDevice" section of /etc/X11/XF86Config, like this:
Section "InputDevice"
[...]
Option "XkbKeyCodes" "xfree86"
Option "XkbLayout" "is"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
[...]
EndSection
For "XkbVariant" you can use
"XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
or
"XkbVariant" "sundeadkeys"
or omit this line completely. I don't know which one works best,
just try it.
If you are using KDE, you can also choose the keyboard-layout
in the KDE Control Center.
You can also set it from the commandline using setxkbmap, e.g.
setxkbmap is
or
setxkbmap is nodeadkeys
see also 'man setxkbmap'.
