Hi Anas, people, I've spent the last couple of weeks setting up autoyast2 for a diverse network with 80 machines. Anas' online buglist (and the patches it pointed to) answered most of the questions I wanted to ask, but not this one: Is there a way (beyond applying sed to /etc/X11/XF86Config, which is what I do today) for me to set the X11 keyboard map? I keep getting machines configured with a US keymap, which with Norwegian keyboards is anything but nifty. Setting the _language_ to Norwegian isn't an option, my keyboards may be Norwegian but 20% of my users aren't... <General> -> <keyboard> only affects the console keymap. I'm managing with sed - consider this a wishlist item for the future.

I had the same Problem with German keyboards. I too prefered not to use German as language. <install> <general> <keyboard> <keymap>german</keymap> </keyboard> <language>en_US</language> </general> </install> didn't worked. I found that an additional sysconfig entry worked as easy workaround. <sysconfig config:type="list"> <sysconfig_entry> <sysconfig_key>KEYTABLE</sysconfig_key> <sysconfig_path>keyboard</sysconfig_path> <sysconfig_value>de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map.gz</sysconfig_value> </sysconfig_entry> </sysconfig> You will find an Norwegian KEYTABLE in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/*/* Bernd -- Bernd 'Bing' Leibing Computing Center, University of Ulm, Germany Email: <bernd.leibing@rz.uni-ulm.de> Tel. 0731-50-22516 Homepage (PGP-Key): http://www.uni-ulm.de/~leibing O26/5215
