Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Problem on setting keyboard layout

Hi!

A while ago I found the following article helpful. It worked for me to switch
an OI_151 box to a german keyboard layout.

Subject: Heads-up: PSARC/2010/183 Kernel Keyboard Configuration in SMF

The putback in snv_145 -

Changeset: 12859:5bd0d487a9b5

Comments:
6944480 move keyboard configuration from /etc/default/kbd to SMF

moves keyboard properties from /etc/default/kbd to system/keymap
service(svc:/system/keymap:default).
And the file - /etc/default/kbd is removed. To configure kernel
keyboard, users need to use kbd tool(/usr/bin/kbd) and system/keymap
service(svc:/system/keymap:default).

Usage -

1. list all keyboard properties

      # svccfg -s keymap:default listprop keymap

    or check single keyboard property, for example, check keyboard layout

      # svcprop -p keymap/layout keymap:default

2. Set single keyboard property, for example, set keyboard layout
    to "US-English". (kbd -s can list all supported keyboard layout.)

      # svccfg -s keymap:default setprop keymap/layout=US-English
      # svcadm refresh keymap
      # svcadm restart keymap

3. Set all keyboard properties into kernel

      # kbd -i

4. check if keyboard properties are set into kernel
      # kbd -l

Please file bugs at solaris/kernel/keyboard if you find any problem. And
for any questions, please send mail to usb-...@sun.com.

Thanks,

I followed above indication.

yshigeru@openindiana:~$ svccfg -s svc:/system/keymap:default
svc:/system/keymap:default> listprop keymap/layout
keymap/layout  astring  US-English
svc:/system/keymap:default>

However, the layout is still Japanese.
I think there is a keyboard settings whose value is still Japanese.

Are there any other settings should I check?

Thanks,

shigeru
