I've installed SuSE 9.0 with Swedish keyboard, but when SuSE boots and tries to load the swedish keymap it can't find it. I would like to know if someone can point me to where to find it and/or where to put it for SuSE to find it.

The problem has already been reported to SUSE, see the archives.

A workaround is to change /etc/sysconfig/keyboard: KEYTABLE="sv-latin1.map.gz"

The correct keymap is: $ locate sv-latin1.map.gz /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/sv-latin1.map.gz

Also, in my case, the Swedish key labeled "<|>" :-) didn't work in KDE. Everything was OK when I selected 105 key keyboard and the Swedish keyboard layout in the KDE's control center.

By chance to you know how to edit the keyboard layout? IE: Make a custom keyboard? (I'm dealing the with Cyrillic keyboard instead of Sweedish, but I'm sure the principals are the same...) Krikket

Try Xmodmap

xmodmap is for an X keyboard layout. The original problem delt with the console keymap. Man pages of loadkeys(1), dumpkeys(1), and keymaps(5) provide enough information to get started. Anyway, I prefer when people start a new thread with a clear Subject for a new topic. -- A.M.
