Looking around in logs and configs, I found the keyboard specified in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard to be "pc104".
Unspecified in any/all of mine
[...] Here's that final line from the "keyboard" file:
YAST_KEYBOARD="english-us,pc104"
There is no mention of YAST_KEYBOARD anywhere on my system
All this leads me to believe that this is an irrelevancy.
That's interesting. I don't use yast for setup and I've never to my recall had to configure a "keyboard.conf" file one way or another.
You asked
Do you have anything in your /etc/sysconfig/keyboard at all?
And I pointed out that all the entries were either "" or "no" which further leads me to believe it is irrelevant. You said
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.
Well, no. FOSS also means that the wheel gets invented many times over, and there are shifts under-way that are dramatic. we've seen the shift with systemd which has rendered abut 90% of what you knew pre-20010 or so about system administration irrelevant. We have Wayland coming and ... Well look at the "what requires" (use Yast if you are so inclined, or zypper if not) for wayland and you'll find such things as 'kwin', 'kwin5', 'plasma-workplace', 'libQt5Compositor5', ... I don't know enough about Gnome to know if the references there are meaningful. You might read up on the "Weston" package. The more I drill down the more I see the system -- openSUSE at any rate -- working around 'event management'.
