Well, you can still set the Linux console keyboard by running 'yast2 keyboard' (well hidden now; not even mentioned in 'yast2 -l' any longer). This then gets mapped to an appropriate X keyboard layout the same way as it is also done during installation.
*grbml* I thought this was fixed as part of bug 540958 but still the desktop file for the keyboard module is missing. Filed bug 560713.
But it would be much better to have a keyboard switcher inside of kdm as it is also offered by GDM (AFAIK) to change it on the fly - remembering the last setting.
There are requests to support non-ASCII passwords for encrypted partitions. For that purpose the text console setting is crucial esp for the root partition as I doubt anyone wants to start X in the initrd. So no matter what convenience functions the DM offers we still need that yast module. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
