I'm curious as to whether it is possible to easily detect when a USB keyboard is plugged in and then change the keyboard mapping based on it.
Reason I ask is because I frequently plug a USB keyboard into the OLPC for any non-trivial typing. For the kids, it will often still be a bit hunt-and-peck, which means when using the embedded keyboard, it needs to keep the default (us) mapping. But when an external is plugged in, it really should be remapped, or the hunting will be in vain. I can easily run setxkbmap manually whenever I need to do this, and set up a simple Activity to do this switching in a GUI, but hopefully there is a more automated alternative. P.S.: Of course, writing this I realized that the ideal solution would be to have one set of mappings for keypresses from the embedded and another for the USB keyboard, but I have no idea as to where to begin looking at that... -- Kent Dahl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- http://www.pvv.org/~kentda/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
