The tool one chooses to configure a setting should not limit the generality of the result, except the tool clearly states something different. So either make yast2-keyboard (textmode) and SaX2 change X11 and console keyboard maps (principle of least surprise) or add a proper help text. (And the helptext might confuse users) (Does anyone use different keyboards when typing on console vs. typing on X11 ?) That said, its probably too late to fix it properly in 10.3 -- 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.

Jiri, is it possible to use the keyboard YaST module in a non-interactive way?
