Created an attachment (id=385695) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=385695) [details] system config keyboard

KEYTABLE="fr-latin1.map.gz" That one is mapped to "fr" X keyboard via /etc/X11/xdm/Keyboard.map mapping table and /etc/X11/xdm/keytable script ==> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keytable.conf Please attach that xorg.conf.d (xorg.conf snippet) file. -- 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.

Section "InputClass" Identifier "LocalKeyboard" MatchIsKeyboard "on" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection

That's the fallback, if there is no mapping available. See /etc/X11/xdm/keytable. This is something I cannot reproduce. ==> WORKSFORME -- 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.

Basically the static keyboard configuration only works for the keyboard selected during installation. 'yast2 keyboard' is only for the Linux console keyboard and has been removed from yast modules menu by intention due to that reason. Keyboard configuration has become a user configuration, not a static configuration for the system (as most other things). ==> WONTFIX -- 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.

If the 'yast2 keyboard' is now deprecated, it needs to be disabled or print an error message.

It has been removed from the visible YaST modules.

It would be helpful that there is a guide to configuring the keyboard. Not all environments are running via xdm.

All common desktops (KDE, Gnome, I guess also xfce) have a keyboard configuration tool.

Need a method that works to be able to set keyboard and map outside of running xdm or other login manager.

Please advise.

Again. WONTFIX. Or run /etc/X11/xdm/keytable manually after editing /etc/sysconfig/keyboard:KEYTABLE. -- 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.
