Kostas omitted to mention this is aimed at further developments in the localization-config package. This package is essentially (but not only) used by the Debian installer for preseeding, among other things, correct X keymaps to the XFree packages.
The current version sets the keymap from the configured locale, which is not always appropriate (for instance, for those people who think it's smart to choose English as the system language when you indeed speak French...:-))). Next versions will try to better map the X keyboard from the keymap chosen in console-data, that is the one chosen when running the installer. The idea is, IIRC, first getting the keymap, regardless of the locale. If it is not set, then use the locale. Now for the data: Speaking for fr_FR users... > a) console keymap used (please be exact, i need the name as found in > the console-data package, eg mac-usb-de-latin1-nodeadkeys, > sunt5-fi-latin1, etc). fr-latin9 (other are considered obsolete and not proposed by the installer) > > b) X settings (XkbRules, XkbLayout, XkbModel, XkbVariant, XkbOptions) > can be obtained by use of the command: > > xprop -root _XKB_RULES_NAMES _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "fr", "", "" > > c) arch i386 > > d) locale used (eg [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc) [EMAIL PROTECTED] This should also work for fr_FR.UTF-8 and fr_FR Other fr_* locales should use different settings... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
