The /home/olpc/.i18n file should provide a lighter-weight mechanism to accomplish what you want; perhaps Michael or Bernie could elaborate? I'm not certain of the details myself. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

But thanks all the same. /Ties ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

permanently changing keyboard layout for forth
I'm trying to permanently change my OFW keyboard layout from spanish to us. At the moment i can change the keyboard layout with: select keyboard set-keyboard ( which defaults to us ) and I guess I have to change the Keyboard ascii map (KA) value in the spi with values called or used by (set-keyboard) somehow, but this is wild speculation on my part. I couldn't really figure out the correct way, and I don't want to totally mess up my keyboard layout by guessing. Does someone know the Right Way (or some way less set in stone but with more or less guaranteed outcome)? Thanks in advance! /Ties ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

The likelihood of bricking your machine with this procedure is vanishingly small. However, as a dislaimer, if you should happen to brick it, I won't have time to help you recover it, because I am horribly overworked at the moment. Thanks for the help. Not sure I want to risk never to be able to get back to Spanish though. Might also not be practical for testing purposes. It seems like I found the address of something that resembles the us keymap. Unsurprisingly under 'keymap'. But it doesn't really match the description in Manufacturing_data on the wiki. If you've got the time, do you happen to know where i can find the proper address of the us layout as expected by KA, or a document/the files which enumerate(s) the correct byte-sequence for different kb-layouts? Together with a decompiled change-tag, that should be enough info to change KA. Thanks, Ties ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
