You can use kcontrol for configure your favorite keyboard layout.
I ran kcontrol and I saw that the layout was set to "us", which is wrong.
"us" is the default if not otherwise specified for HAL/evdev.
I set it to "uk" and everything seemed fine for the rest of the X11 session.
However, just to complicate things, on X11 re-start the keyboard layout is back to "us", i.e. wrong again.
In the new X11 session? Then it's a KDE bug. It's no surprise for the displaymanager login, since it's a user setting, which is not active yet at this time.
I would like to find out how to make the "uk" setting permanent, please.
If it's a KDE bug I'm the wrong person to address it. See above.
I'm wondering if there is an executable /etc/X11/xdm/keytable4hal on your system and if it is called by /etc/init.d/xdm?
Yes the keytable4hal executable exists and yes it is mentioned in the xdm file.
So restarting xdm doesn't help? If it doesn't, try to run the script manually. Does this help? What's the result in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-keymap.fdi? Make sure you have the latest xorg-x11 package from X11:XOrg project in our OBS. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
