Help with keyboard file?
I've installed SuSE 7.1 five times on my new Dell PowerEdge 1550 server, trying to correct the same mistake. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, and after I do it, the only thing I know to do is start over. I think my system's using a different keyboard map. When I press "-" I get a capital Greek B, "/" gives me "-", ")" gives me "=", etc. Can anyone tell me what's happening, how not to do it when I initialize the system (load the software) and any way of changing it without rebuilding the system? Thanks for your help. -Kevin Zembower ----- E.

This is only in X, right? I don't think you are doing anything wrong as such. I would assume Yast2 set you up with a German keyboard, like it did for me in SuSE 7.0. Weird they didn't get that fixed for 7.1. I don't know which keyboard you want, but look in /etc/X11/XF86Config for XkbLayout. The option after is what you want to change. Regards Ole

You don't say which keyman you require. Let's try first if you can get the american layout functional. If that works, we'll start from there: Type: loadkeys us from a console and tell us what gives. -- ---------------------------------------------------- Koos Pol T: +31 20 3116122 Systems Administrator F: +31 20 3116200 Compuware Europe B.V.
