I rudely sent this to the package maintainer before I sent this here. The instant I hit send (of course), I realized that this list is a more appropriate location for this question.
I am simply a clueless user trying to figure out how to get Dvorak keymappings working with XF4 (Woody). I have tried the following: Reading xkbsel(5) and (1) Putting the following in /etc/xkb/xkbsel.conf: dv = dvorak dv = xfree86(dvorak) dv = dvorak(basic) dv = /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/dvorak dv = /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/dvorak(basic) dv = /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/dvorak dv = /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/dvorak(basic) ...and so on. After a pointI realized that xkbsel probably selects from compiled keymaps... so I started playing with xkbcomp. I ran xkbcomp as: xkbcomp /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/dvorak xkbcomp /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/dvorak /var/lib/xkbsel/compiled/dvorak.xkm xkbcomp /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/dvorak -o /var/lib/xkbsel/compiled/dvorak.xkm And none of them produced the .xkm as I expected. Matter of fact, from my best readings of the output of strace, it wasn't trying to. Again, I apologize for being such a clueless newbie, but I think this process is a little difficult, and I would like to do two things: 1) Get it working for myself, and 2) Maybe help refine the docs a little so the next person after me doesn't have to email one of the package maintainers. Thanks in advance, - Ryan King
