Hi, first of all there are two different keyboard mappings, one for the console and the other for X11. And on top of this, KDE is able to override the X11 kbd layout! The display-managers like XDM,KDM,GDM,.. on the other hand depend on the X11 configuration settings. So please check your /etc/X11/XF86Config file in the section "InputDevice" Driver "Keyboard" the option "XkbLayout" if it is set to "be" hope this helps, Markus

hm.. that's really strange.. the only other possibility to change something would be in Xmodmap, but there you'd define just special key behaviour.. Do have this problem on the local XDM, or a remote session? Somehow X11 seems to fall back to the default keyboard mappings (which is US qwerty) in xdm.. Well I can't find a hint in the patch history of SLES9 for this problem, and I guess you've already tried it after SP2.. and maybe done a complete reconfigure with sax2.. I'm running out of ideas..

Hi Carlos once more, I just tried to set the azerty "be" keymapping in X11 and it worked here with KDM flawlessly.. if you want, I could send you the XF86Config and you could compare yours with this one (it's configured for a vmware environment) Markus
