In the backups of this machine's previous CentOS (7.x) system there was no /etc/sysconfig/keyboard, but there was /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf file (programmatically generated) containing this: The Centos web pages are ... interesting... but this is openSuse. You can't simply paste across arbitrarily like that. In most instances I would agree with you completely. But I'd also well believe that much of the basic code in many distros is the same... and that would include code that handled keyboards which have been around already for a number of years. It's FOSS, after all... developers borrow code from one another. Indeed, perhaps it was the same developer(s) who wrote the keybd-handling code which trickled into *all* the Linux distros. I'm also partially playing devil's advocate with myself though... as said in my original post, I'm leery of that particular solution and reckless cowboy sysadmining in general. For example, it's possible that the keyboard is specified in two or three different places/files, and changing just one of them could make things worse. Yes, but the entry "YAST_KEYBOARD" is specific to openSUSE (yast part in the name).
What I meant was that, in some hardware configurations the same value must be set in more than one place, the hostname, for instance. And if in such a circumstance there are different and incompatible values set, then that subsystem could become unusable. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
