The problem with Korean and SuSE 9.3 is, that you can configure a korean keyboard layout, but loading it results in an error. The command KDE tries to execute is: setxkbmap -model inspiron -layout ko
It's setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout ko on my SuSE Linux 9.3 machine, but this fails with the same message:
This results in the error message: Error loading new keyboard description
Apparently the Korean keyboard layout is missing xorg-x11 package in
SuSE Linux 9.3:
mfabian@magellan:/etc/X11/xkb$ grep -i -r korean .
./keycodes/xfree86: // Keys that are generated on Korean keyboards
./rules/xfree86.lst: ko Korean
./rules/xfree86.xml: <description>Korean</description>
./rules/xorg.lst: ko Korean
./rules/xorg.xml: <description>Korean</description>
mfabian@magellan:/etc/X11/xkb$ find . -name "*ko*"
mfabian@magellan:/etc/X11/xkb$
It's already missing in the sources, i.e. it is a bug
of X11R6.8.2, it has nothing to do with KDE.
I just reported it as Bug #87443 on http://bugzilla.novell.com.
If you want to follow that bug, create yourself an account on
http://bugzilla.novell.com and tell me the e-mail address you used so
I can add you to the CC: of the bug.
Mike: Do you know anything about it? I've seen, that there was recently a korean subject in the mailing list, but I did not read it. Was it about the same topic?
No.
