But it makes perfectly sense. Now my problem is that yast2 simply does not offer ANY option to change keyboard or mouse settings, nor does sax2. I knew those options from earlier versions, they appear to be gone now ?!? So I CANNOT change the layout from yast2 :-) Ok, gonna file a bug in yast2... -- 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.

However I cannot login to kde since there is _no_ way in opensuse-11.2 to simply change the keyboard layout without changing the base locale of the system. In my eyes this is a show stopper for opensuse-11.2. A distribution where you cannot change the keyboard layout: *lol* -- 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.

I can login as expected and my locale is not changed as in all other suggestions. Thoughts on that setting being configurable: - you should be able to change the keyboard model you are using inside an installed system - changing should be possible from the boot menu, it currently is not. Reason: using a laptop with and without an attached additional keyboard. That is quite a frequent szenario. -- 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.

Problem is not specific to KDE as I could reproduce it with WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/bin/icewm Might this be some caching issue? Happened before. However, this issue is probably different from the original bug, so might be better to track this separately. -- 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.

Are you sure? The other bug is that yast module cannot be found. I'm going to solve it by returning the desktop file.

But this bug is about the settings not saved after applying them using YaST...

Hmm. Probably /etc/X11/xdm/keytable4hal is not executed afterwards. -- 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.
