Personaly i think that hal (or whatever used hwdetection) is able to see what keybord layout is used, so i think that the choice would be obvious, from hardware point of vieuw, and thus could be preselected, without any problem. (except that it has to be implemented?)
Too bad you're wrong.
Greetings, Stephan
Wrong? You say?
At what point? That hardware detection can see what keybord-layout is used? Or that it has to be implemented? Or both?
Do not say that it is not possible, the door shuts if you say those things.. ;-)
As far as I know there is no way to detect which letters are printed on the keys and which letter is printed on which key. In other words: The hardware is generic and only the labels differ from layout to layout.
Exactly. You can easily see that as I type using the american keyboard layout on my laptop that is covered with Japanese keys. There is no way the hardware can report this, sorry. thanks, greg k-h --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
