-----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Marc Waeckerlin [mailto:Marc.Waeckerlin@siemens.com] Verzonden: di 7-6-2005 CC: m17n@suse.com The problem with Korean and SuSE 9.3 is, that you can configure a korean keyboard layout, but loading it results in an error. The command KDE tries to execute is: setxkbmap -model inspiron -layout ko This results in the error message: Error loading new keyboard description In older SuSE Linuxes, it did work, then with a KDE update, the korean keyboard layout disappeard completely from the list of available layouts in KDE (I think, that was in SuSE 9.2, but with an additional apt-Upgrade of KDE). Now the layout is back again, but it does not work. *** That's too bad, well, fortunately I'm just rather ignorant, not always up-to-date and I still have 9.1. But with, mostly, Mike's great help I can now use Korean perfectly with 9.1. So, although I don't know anything about the 9.3 distribution (nor much of anything about computers, anyway), I wonder why they wouldn't just leave it the way it was when they created those updates? What Mike Fabian pointed me to for 9.1 is just perfect. Could it be that not enough Koreans are into Linux? Only thing I know is that noone can beat the Koreans in computer games. But I don't know about their software making interests. My wife is supposed to be an engineer, but she can't make much of computers either, so although she is the Korean in our house, I had to make sure she could be typing Korean. So for a while she used the "special characters" stuff and put the whole syllables straight into some text document. You can imagine how much time that takes. So she threatened me she would buy a Windows or Mac computer. "Why on earth did you put Linux on OUR computer if you don't know anything about it?" she would be saying (I bought Suse9.1 and installed it out of the box). Yes people, the moment they started selling these ready for use packages, you'll see more total ignorants messing around with Linux ;-) thanks and take care HermanM
