Hi,
I have to support one PC with an international keyboard, to be more
precise with a Swiss-French keyboard. (There are both Swiss-French and
Swiss-German keyboards.)
I have, as root, run kbdconfig and chosen the keyboard driver on this
PC. As a result, the keyboard works fine in any virtual terminal.
The problem is in X, actually in Gnome. (I haven't tried in KDE since I
don't have it installed on the PC in question.) The keyboard is working
perfectly well for all 'normal' keys, like a-z,0-9 and such. But any
more special keys, like the national keys found where you find
;:'"[{]}\| etc. on an American keyboard, they just don't work. We're
also unable to create a commercial at '@' with this keyboard. (Should be
found as AltGr-2)
The same problem is present when opening an xterminal from Gnome.
As I said, all this works fine in the virtual terminals tty1 to tty6.
Anyone (European?) managed to get this working? For *any* non-US
keyboard? If so, are there any tips available? Any RTFM? Is there a
HOWTO for this subject? I have looked through the
Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO but I felt it was on a different (much lower)
level than what I hope will be necessary to achieve this.
Best regards
Gustav
