Feature changed by: Christian Zoz (zoz) Feature #305735, revision 9 Title: Correctly detect keyboard model on laptops - openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation + openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Christian Zoz (zoz) + reject date: 2009-06-08 12:21:44 + reject reason: not necessary anymore, most laptops work fine with + microsoftpro Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Description: The default configuration of X always gives you a keyboard using the microsoftpro model. However, on laptops, it'd be better to actually use the model of this laptop -- it's certainly possible to have a script to detect this. Discussion: #1: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-02-17 11:44:36) No idea if it's possible. Christian, please evaluate costs+benefits. #2: Matthias Hopf (mhopf) (2009-04-15 16:52:45) Keyboard metainformation is notoriously difficult to detect. Read: it's not possible at all. Even USB keyboards don't know (or at least talk about) their layout. #3: Stefan Dirsch (sndirsch) (2009-06-06 13:24:11) According to seife this is no longer required. microsoftpro model has become a defacto standard on laptops meanwhile. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305735
