Although an Arabic keyboard layout exists for X11 (/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ara) it is not offered. The reason is most likely that there is no arabic keyboard layout for the linux konsole. -- 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.

But currently YaST2 offers only a keyboard layout for X11 if a console keyboard layout exists. I don’t know why, the console keyboard layout and the X11 keyboard layout have nothing to do with each other but currently it is implemented in YaST2 that way. For Khmer and Korean we worked around this problem by creating symlinks to the US keyboard layout in the kbd package: mfabian@magellan:~$ ll /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/khmer.map.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-10-15 17:54 /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/khmer.map.gz -> us.map.gz mfabian@magellan:~$ ll /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/korean.map.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-10-15 17:54 /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/korean.map.gz -> us.map.gz mfabian@magellan:~$ -- 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.

To make this work something needs to be changed in YaST2. Change component to YaST, reassign to component owner. -- 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.
