Dear all,
We are planing on using a different keyboard layout for XO4. The new
layout we think is phonetically based and easier for children. I simply
switched the /usr/share/X11/symbols/np file with a new one but did not
work. I guess there are some other works that needs to be done before we
can use this file. Can you suggest what needs to be done?
Yeah, it's not quite that simple. You need to leave the interaction
with the OLPC mode/variant in place. Add the following lines to the
end of the file:
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols olpc {
include np
include group(olpc)
};
Now it should work.

Can you suggest what needs to be done? The layout I want to use is http://nepalinux.org/input/ne We did this for Maori. We used James's Tiny Core Linux based customization stick. See http://carrott.org/git/mktinycorexo_nz.git/blob/HEAD:/scripts/asroot for the script that is run _before the first boot of the laptop_ to insert the Maori keyboard, change the keyboard configuration and update the Maori translations. The Maori keyboard is called mi. You may also be interested in http://carrott.org/git/mktinycorexo_nz.git/blob/HEAD:/scripts/asolpc which changes the user's locale preferences. See http://carrott.org/git/mktinycorexo_nz.git/blob/HEAD:/mknzusb for the script which makes the customization flash drive. Be sure to read and understand it before running as it will wipe your disk and you will be sad if it wipes the wrong one! Clone the whole repo if you like, but my server's bandwidth is not great and there is about 50MB in there, so be patient. I should probably refactor it to use a submodule to get tinycorexo. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
