https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=302107#c6 --- Comment #6 from Jörg Hermsdorf <funtasyspace@yahoo.com> 2007-08-22 13:20:45 MST --- I'm not sure that the settings were correct after installation, I don't think so... I just didn't notice they are not correct. There are actually 3 issues here: a) Why does sax choose the 'Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro / Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro' layout for my Lenovo ThinkPad T60p? b) There is something broken with the values of the select field for the keyboard layout during a fresh configuration. How to reproduce: - switch to init 3 - delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf - run 'sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx' - go to keyboard configuration, see that sax choose 'Microsoft Natural..." as layout for my system, but don't change it, leave it as it is - finish configuration and let sax write the settings - 'less /etc/X11/xorg.conf' to see that sax didn't write the "XkbModel" option into it, it's missing! - run sax again - go to keyboard configuration, now 'A4Tech KB-21' is the selected one - finish configuration, let sax write the settings - 'less /etc/X11/xorg.conf' to see that there is now the "XkbModel" option, but it's wrong of course, because I don't have a "a4techKB21" keyboard Conclusions: - If sax is supposed to detect and select the keyboard model automatically, it doesn't work (at least on my system). - If I select the keyboard model myself (change the value that sax preselects), the XkbModel option is correctly written to /etc/X11/xorg.conf c) If I configure the compose key for my keyboard via YaST2 (which uses sax!?) the XkbOptions line is not correct afterwards (see Comment #3). But if I configure via sax2 directly, the XkbOptions is correct. So there is a discrepancy between the YaST2 and sax2 approach. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
