Subject: [Ankur-core] Elementary Help: Ben and Ubuntu/MSW-XP
Hello Friends
I need some very elementary help on two things: Ben on Ubuntu 5.10 and
MSW-XP.
1. Jamil Ahmed provided tweaked versions of Ben that are to be kept in
'/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols' and '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc'
directory. They are working well on FC3 and SuSE 9.2 systems. But, that is
not working in Ubuntu 5.10. Even the 'setxkbmap' binary is not giving
error
message 'cannot load keyboard configuration' when given directly the
address
of the 'ben' files, though that is working the usual way in FC3 or SuSE
9.2.
How to make these tweaked 'ben' files work in Ubuntu 5.10?
FC3 and SuSE 9.2 use X.org 6.8.1 and Ubuntu 5.10 uses 6.8.2
The change is, keyboard symbol files are now country wise. In the symbol/
folder you will get "bd" and "in" files respectively for Bangladesh and
India. Probhat layout [and all indic layout] is defined in this "in" file.
There is no "ben" file now. You have to hack the "in" file. :-)
2. How to work with OOO 2 and 'ben' in MSW-XP? Where from to get the
'probhat'
layout and driver and configuration files for MSW-XP? And can someone
provide
a step by step guide for how to make it work in MSW-XP? Is there any
how-to?
I know nothing about MSW-XP, but I have to give it to someone who wants to
use Bangla and OOO 2.
There is a windows input manager for Probhat - made by Taneem bhai. I will
send you offlist soon.
Best,
`Jamil
