--- Comment #6 from Jörg Hermsdorf 2007-08-22 13:20:45 MST ---
I'm not sure that the settings were correct after installation, I don't think
so... I just didn't notice they are not correct.
There are actually 3 issues here:
a) Why does sax choose the 'Microsoft
Natural Keyboard Pro / Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro' layout for my Lenovo
ThinkPad T60p?
b) There is something broken with the values of the select field for the
keyboard layout during a fresh configuration.
How to reproduce:
- switch to init 3
- delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- run 'sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx'
- go to keyboard configuration, see that sax choose 'Microsoft Natural..." as
layout for my system, but don't change it, leave it as it is
- finish configuration and let sax write the settings
- 'less /etc/X11/xorg.conf' to see that sax didn't write the "XkbModel" option
into it, it's missing!
- run sax again
- go to keyboard configuration, now 'A4Tech KB-21' is the selected one
- finish configuration, let sax write the settings
- 'less /etc/X11/xorg.conf' to see that there is now the "XkbModel" option, but
it's wrong of course, because I don't have a "a4techKB21" keyboard
Conclusions:
- If sax is supposed to detect and select the keyboard model automatically, it
doesn't work (at least on my system).
- If I select the keyboard model myself (change the value that sax preselects),
the XkbModel option is correctly written to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
c) If I configure the compose key for my keyboard via YaST2 (which uses sax!?)
the XkbOptions line is not correct afterwards (see Comment #3). But if I
configure via sax2 directly, the XkbOptions is correct. So there is a
discrepancy between the YaST2 and sax2 approach.
