Created an attachment (id=254427) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=254427) [details] SaX log

Section "InputDevice" Driver "kbd" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "no" Option "XkbModel" "microsoftpro" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" EndSection So the mapping from norwegian keyboard layout to X keyboard layout obviously worked. Running 'setxkbmap -print' will show us which keyboard layout is really active. Possibly it has been changed by your desktop - intentionally or unintentionally. BTW, which desktop are you using? (In reply to comment #4 from Birger Kollstrand)

all is still not perferct. The Del key does not work an neither does the PrtScrn key.

The behaviour of Del/PrtScrn key is not related to the language keyboard layout. -- 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.

I'll try your request. What data shall be outoput from the test and what shall I look for?

Check the keyboard in xterm. It should be norwegian now. Output of 'setxkbmap -print' would also be appreciated. Global xinitrc is only used if you don't have a ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession. Global xinitrc.common depends on your ~/.xinitrc, if you source it there. -- 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.

I have reinstalled fresh with RC1 and made a fresh user. The fault is still there. Norwegian keyboard layout is not used in KDE4 while it works in console mode. This is when I use the 4 port Avocent keyboard switch. I then reinstalled with screen, keyboard and a mouse connected directly to the computer. This time it works as I expect. I unfortunately used a different keyboard for the direct connection. So there seems to be something going wrong when the keyboardswitch is in between as a USB switch. This has not happened earlier. I have used this keyboardswitch for about 2 years.
