[Bug 409213] New: Xmodmap + remote X console + hungarian keyboard
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=409213 Summary: Xmodmap + remote X console + hungarian keyboard Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE3 AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: gallaij@mediagnost.hu QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Other Hi ALL! I am not a newbie in SuSE but I have a big problem with openSuSE 11.0. We use this software since 8.2 and I could solve anything till this day......We have an application server running SuSE / openSuSE ( currenty oS 11.0, and KDE 3.5 ) and we have a lot of X terminals. Some boot from network, some from CD and the rest from USB and we have different distribs ( Suse, Slax, Debian so this palette is very colorful :-) ). They works well for years and SuSE is works well too. I always had the problem when I start a remote X console there are no hungarian keyboard. Till this moment I could solve this problem ( beginning with 8.2 through 9.2, 9.3, 10.0, 10.1 )with xmodmap and a very very old gnome xmodmap directory containing an xmodmap.hu file having the right layout for hungarian keyboards. But when I tried to use with 11.0 my keyboard gets messed and only restart helps me out from this situation. Locally the hungarian keyboard is exists and working properly but when I try to use it from another X console remotelly only english layout present. I tried to find a way to get hungarian layout but I got nowhere... Here it is my xmodmap file, I used this time !

I know that for some xmodmap users it helps to load the us keyboard layout before applying the Xmodmap table. setxkbmap us xmodmap <your_xmodmap> Another option would be to use the hungarian xkb keyboard layout: setxkmap hu Let me know if this helps. -- 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.

Thanks for your fast help. It works partly but it is GREAT now. I tried you wrote on and you are right but I did it another way utilizing your advice: 1. I commented the row in Xorg.conf so there is no XKBLayout at all. When I start X the layout is english as we expected if no keyboard layout is set. 2. I added a line to the xdm/Xsetup file: xmodmap xmodmap.hu after the definition of variables. Now when I start X locally or remotely the greeter and also the desktop is hungarian. Only one thing is weird: the greeter doesn't recognize AltGr button at all. A lot of hungarian letters and symbols can be accessed by this button as it shows the xmodmap file I attached early. I tried it on our box running SuSE Linux 10, but there AltGr works fine. Do you know any solution for this?

Anyway, your setup is rather special (and for me it seems it worked until now more or less by accident) and more something for a consultant job, which is not the purpose of bugzilla. Therefore I cannot work on this. I'm sorry. -- 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.
