On physical machines and on VMware machines it works. But in the Xen VMs, the VMs ignore the setting. Instead I have another layout, where 'z' and 'y' is changed - but it's not an american layout, so I don't know which layout is active. At the moment it doesn't harm me, as I'm connecting via PuTTY, but I'd like to know how to get a German layout working?

In order for a German keyboard layout to work, you'll need to set the default keyboard map in the xend config file: /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp. If you scroll to the bottom of the file, you'll see #(keymap 'en-us') Just uncomment that line and change 'en-us' to the correct code for your layout ('de', I think). Then, restart xend (/etc/init.d/xend restart). Once that's done, any guest booted from that point forward will be presented with a german keyboard layout, so you'll need to configure the guest OS with the correct layout as well.

p.s.: the next step is to get a openVZ-system working. I hope I can get great support like in that issue.

That support is going to have to come from somewhere else. My expertise is in Xen. :) Jason -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+help@opensuse.org
