I'm now suspecting a mess in the xorg-x11 installation (file missing or such, as were the xorg docs and man pages), so I tried to re-install the xorg-x11 core package (using yast). This too failed (someting related to permission denied).
Is this due because the x-server is already running ? How can I install the xorg-x11-6.8.2-30.i586.rpm from a command line (or prior the x-server is running) ?
My keyboard problem is still not fixed. I received some feedback from the Suse support team, but with no help so far.
I haven't been able to re-install the xorg package (or install a new one which may contain the bug fix I'm hunting ?). Any help welcome.
Can someone who is using the Suse 9.3 distribution with a working AZERTY keyboard (preferably a Belgium layout, but other may help too) send me his /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for me to compare ?
In your /etc/X11/xorg.conf find the: Section "InputDevice" ... EndSection that describes your keyboard. Somewhere inside of that (I don't think it matters where), insert Option "XkbLayout" "be-latin1" I'm guessing that "be-latin1" is the one you want. (I was in Belgium only once and didn't know about configuring X then :). There's a few others you could choose from; look in /usr/share/kbd/ keymaps/i386/azerty/ and try a few until you get what you want. Just plug into the xorg.conf (in place of be-latin1) the filename without the ".map.gz" part on the end. You can even "gunzip be-latin1.map.gz", edit it how you want, then "gzip be-latin1.map.gz" back where it came from (though this will probably give someone grand mal seizure). hth.
Thanks.
