Hi Sébastien, I changed successfully to German layout with setxkbmap de -print | xkbcomp - $DISPLAY Maybe it works in your case (with "fr-latin9" instead of "de" of course :-).
Alternatively, "normal" setxkbmap worked for me when I remove the cached file in /usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled before calling setxkbmap Regards, Marcel >-----Original Message----- >From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of >Sébastien Devaux >Sent: Donnerstag, 12.
