I'm new to the list and I have installed SuSE 6.3 and it had some problems in KDE using some keyboard characters so I used YaST and accidently pressed wrong one and now I can't login, Do I have to reinstall?
Thanks for your help Chris......
OK, I've edited /etc/XFconfig file and at keyboard area I put 'us' where there was 'de' then saved it and rebooted and still garbage keyboard at login, keyboard "standard" "pc104" "us" Anyone have an answer?
boot with installation floppy, 'start installation' , (or other bootable floppy, like your rescue floppy), then alt-F2 to get a prompt, mount the hard disk, edit the config file in /etc, I forget the name, XF86.config or something, for the right keyboard. reboot. loosely.
or maybe you can boot single user and still use the keyboard, since X isn't loaded yet.
Hope that helps, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\

What does the KEYTABLE variable contain in /etc/rc.config (it should be the very first line)? I think for a US keyboard it should be set to something like us.map.gz.
