[opensuse] how to find the right key mapping for my keyboard
Hello. My notebook keyboard layout is exactly like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KB_Italian.svg At first thought I think it must be italian layout. But it turns out if I choose Italy in either yast or in gnome-control-center I don't get the keys mapped correctly. How can I find which option to choose to get the correct key mapping? I remember in Ubuntu there is a tool, that during installation of the OS, it asks the user to type a sequence of letters, starting from 'p', after that the installer tells you what layout you are using and configure it default. I guess since Ubuntu is opensource, the tool probably have a stand-alone version already available on OpenSuSE? If so it would be very helpful. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I spent half an hour to go to gnome-control-center to choose one keyboard layout, look the preview, and check the other, one after the other, untill I checked all layout, none of them look like what I have. I only checked through languages but not each varient of each language, because that would take hours.

Maybe in the evening I burn a Ubuntu installation CD, pretend to install Ubuntu until it tells my keyboard layout then remember it, reboot to OpenSuSE to configure. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
