Anas, Just to clarify, I am running NLD beta not SuSE 9.1 pro. When I rec'd Lee's response this morning (Thanks!) I tried just what you suggested, Anas. I thought that the issue may be in the X11 default config so I created (using autoyast) a new reference profile from my original and included an X11 configuration: Here is the X11 section of my reference profile, though I don't see anyplace where the keymap is actually set... <x11> <color_depth config:type="integer">16</color_depth> <configure_x11 config:type="boolean">true</configure_x11> <display_manager>gdm</display_manager> <enable_3d config:type="boolean">false</enable_3d> <monitor> <display> <frequency config:type="integer">60</frequency> <height config:type="integer">768</height> <width config:type="integer">1024</width> </display> <monitor_device>1024X768@60HZ</monitor_device> <monitor_vendor> LCD</monitor_vendor> </monitor> <resolution>1024x768</resolution> <window_manager>gnome</window_manager> </x11> I then proceeded to install a machine with the updated profile, but still get the German default keymap rather than US keymap. Is there anyway for us to change the default keymap in the XF86Config that Autoyast uses? Before profile generation rather than after...

Hi Tony,

I noticed that on my SuSE 9.1 AutoYaST installs, the keyboard is set correctly in everything but X11. I added the following 2 lines in my post install user script to fix it:

print KS qq[ /bin/cp /etc/X11/XF86Config /tmp/XF86Config.back /usr/bin/sed -e 's/XkbLayout"\\t"de/XkbLayout"\\t"$x_kbd/' \ </tmp/XF86Config.back >/etc/X11/XF86Config ];

In my case $x_kbd is a variable passed to the perl script creating autoyast.xml. I made a simple 'table' that cross references linux keyboard environment variables to the X11 ones. I can provide it if needed, it's mostly complete but has a few languages I wasn't sure how to cross reference.

I think if I had fully qualified X's config (vs. letting it default) I wouldn't have seen the problem. There are probably other ways to fix it as well, but I was in a hurry and this works for us.

Best Regards,

Lee

When i do an autoyast install I always get a german default keyboard

than US-English. I explicitly set the layout to US-English in the reference profile. All other settings seem to be ok.

Any insight on how to fix this would be appreciated!!

Here is a snip from my autoyast reference profile...
