going on with the subject "French keyboard on Mandrake 8.2 [iMac]"
summary: I still try to get french keyboard layout with a iMac.
in the file /etc/X11/xkb/rules/Xfree86
section "model layout = symbols"
I added the line:
---
* fr = fr(basic)
---
then I launch
---
setxkbmap -model powerpcps2 -layout fr
---
in the .xinitrc filefor xinit startup, or put
---
-model powerpcps2 -layout fr
---
in the file /etc/X11/xinit/Xkbmap for prefdm startup. Now I got
almost all the keys at the login stage. I have now to check for
CTRL-ALT-Fi and CTRL-ALT-DEL for switching to the console and to kill
X11, and try to suppress the auto-repeat (ARGGGGG) for the SPACE key.
