I set Language to German in syslinux. The Live-System ran fine with German keyboard. The installer set German as default language, but after the ejection of my (unused) CD-tray and reboot (or kexec?), keyboard was back at US layout. Have you tried running "sudo /sbin/yast2 language" after installation? It solved the keyboard/language problem for me. But nevertheless, this is a serious issue that needs fixing. I had problems typing in my password in sudo, because special characters are located elsewhere on US layout. -- 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.

Has this changed? After installation the system starts into runlevel 5, runs xdm scripts, which triggers the keytable4hal script to create the HAL keyboard file, so the right keyboard layout is loaded by the Xserver. Thus the correct keyboard layout is set after installation. -- 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.

That can't work, since the input section for 'kbd' driver is ignored by now, unless you set the "AutoAddDevices" option in ServerFlags section to "off". How does your written xorg.conf look like? I thought YaST is longer creating any xorg.conf? I'm confused now. We really don't want any xorg.conf any longer in the system. I would recommend to run the keytable4hal script after having written /etc/sysconfig/kekboard accordingly. Code snippet from xdm script: # use system keyboard as global X keyboard configuration if [ -x /etc/X11/xdm/keytable4hal ]; then if /etc/X11/xdm/keytable4hal; then /etc/init.d/haldaemon stop && \ rm -f /var/cache/hald/fdi-cache && \ /etc/init.d/haldaemon start fi fi Or set the keyboard in YaST via setxkbmap as you already do in first stage. -- 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.
