Keyboard is not set in y2-bootloader :( Maybe you can ask Steffen Winterfeldt about it.

AFAIUI the request is that yast2-bootloader _should_ set the keyboard mapping. Or not? Anyway, without yast, you can run gfxboot --change-config base::keymap=be-latin1 to set a belgian keyboard. -- 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.

Even if I had a belgian keyboard, and configured a belgian keyboard in linux, grub worked with a US keyboard. Now (I don't know when that changed) GRUB decides that if I speak french I have a french keyboard. All the french speaking grub users will now get a french keyboard layout even if they use a canadian, luxembourg, swiss, belgian, whatever keyboard or even a US one. If that's really a matter of putting gfxboot --change-config base::keymap=SOMETHING in some script, why not fix it directly ? -- 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.

From the comments seen here I thought that

gfxboot --change-config base::keymap=be-latin1 was the command to set the keyboard layout in grub, and that what was missing is the glue to let the bootloader installer/configurator know which keyboard layout was selected by the user. I have tested gfxboot --change-config base::keymap=be-latin1 yesterday and saw that it seems not to do anything related to grub keyboard layout, so I surmise that the french layout installed when the french language is selected is only a side-effect in grub that works for big countries (at least France and US) but not for smaller ones. I am also a programmer, so I understand your personal point of view about limited time and amount of work. -- 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.

Of course I cannot tell if it had found that from the choice in grub or from the installed linux. But, the new installed grub again speaks French (OK) but starts with a French (instead of Belgian) keyboard :(, although I my previous installed grub knew I have a Belgian keyboard (after gfxboot --change-config base::keymap=be-latin1) -- 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.
