Forwarding this to debian-boot.
I think I know why this happens. The user chose 'English' which means
that l-c does not get instaleld at all so it cannot do the required
configurations. So when the user selects a country and a keyboard
mapping other than the expected (english), X does not get configured
as it would were he to choose another language.
So, what do we do? Install l-c even when English is selected?

Hello Konstantinos,
which are the correct, or at least they are what I was sent to include
as being the correct.
I have to withdraw my previous error report 303474.
As debian did not configure my graphics card correctly, I did copy some
time ago /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 from knoppix onto my disk.
Unfortionately, this changed also the keyboard settings...
I have reinstalled Sarge RC3 an get the identical results a you:
/etc/environment:
LANGUAGE="de_DE:de:en_GB:en"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection
Sorry for the inconvienice.
Finally I have also reinstalled Sarge RC3 with the following
configuration (see error #274725:):
- Languge = 'English'
- Land / country = 'Germany'
- Keyboard = 'German'
Here I have selected the Gernan keybaord, here I still get the US keybaord:
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
/etc/envrionment:
LANG="en_US"
LANGUAGE="en_DE:en_US:en_GB:en"
When I started gnmoe keyboard manager, US keyboard was selected. When
removing that I got a gnome error message stating that complex
configurations are sometimes not supported. The error message included a
request to attach the following information when sending an error report
to gnome:
gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
layouts = [de basic]
model = pc104
overrideSettings = false
options = []
update_handlers = []
Xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc104", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc104", "de", "basic", ""
When starting KDE afterwards I was able to change the keypad to gernam.
As far, as I saw, this did not cause any change the XF86config-4 file,
however also changed the keyboard settings later Gnome sessions too.
Br,
Michael
