Are there some doc or location to review all available options to setup a keyboard in Xorg and/or KDE (via config files or user interface) ? Thanks for attention. To see the allowed XkbVariants for your layout, you can use something like this: grep xkb_symbols /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us | cut -d\ -f2 (You have to replace us with the name of your XkbLayout, e.g. de for a German keyboard.) The files in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ include comments that explain the ideas behing the different XkbVariants. If you still have the Xandros installation (dual-boot maybe) then you can run setxkbmap -print in an X terminal to see which layout and variant it uses. You can also configure your keyboard using only the KDE graphical interface. Go to Control Center - Regional Accessibility - Keyboard layout and activate Enable keyboard layouts on the Layout tab. Then choose your keyboard model from the drop-down menu and select your desired layout in the Available layouts pane on the left. After pressing the Add button, you should see the layout listed under Active layouts on the right hand side. If you click on it there you can choose from all the valid layouts with the drop-down menu that sits below the Active layouts box. -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Keyboard : setup AltGr+e to produce é
Have you tried using xmodmap?

To find out the codes for your keys, use xev. For the names of the symbols you want try this: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/List_of_Keysyms_Recognised_by_Xmodmap Mode_switch is your AltGr key. To enable this you run xmodmap ~/.keybconf in a shell. Your keycodes might be different - and most likely are - than mine, so fiddle around with Xev. Once it works put it in your ~/.Xsession: exec xmodmap ~/.keybconf Note: keysyms are, however, more cross-keyboard than keycodes, so try using those. HTH -- Nuno Magalhães

reprogramming individual keyboards in a multiple usb keyboard setup
Hi, I am setting up a debian box to act as my mythtv front end. As such, I'm using a Twinhand Visionplus DVB-t card which comes with a usb infra-red receiver and a nice little remote control. The reciver plugs into the usb port and just acts as another keyboards and puts its key strokes into the standard keyboard buffer as though I pressed them on my real keyboard. This is fine except that I need specific key strokes form it for mythtv to work properly. There are a number of solutions to this problem among which is reporgramming the key strokes mythtv looks for, but I want to do it the other way around. I'd like to be able to reprogram the keystrokes comming from the usb keyboard device for the IR remote only, and make it output different keys, the idea being that when I need to use my normal keyboard, all the keys will still be in the right place. so my question is, is there a way to reprogram keystrokes from particualar keyboards in a multi usb keyboard setup? I have searched around on google and the line and haven't really found a solution to this problem. if anyone could give me some pointers i'd greatly appreciate it. btw, I'm using kernel 2.6.12.3 and debian testing.
