Again, keyboard layout is not integrated, so only the US layout is supported. Samuel -- Cordiali saluti, Fabio Colella
Re: Keyboard wrong keys
Hi Fabio :) Quoting Fabio Colella (2012-02-07 19:57:54) Thank you very much, I'll do my possible. It's very hard to use an Italian keyboard as if it was American. If you're using qemu to run your Hurd installation, you might want to add '-k en-us' to the qemu options to indicate that your guest uses the american layout. qemu will then do the translation from your native layout to the one used by the guest. Oh, and please don't top post to mailinglists ;) Cheers, Justus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-hurd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

If you're using qemu to run your Hurd installation, you might want to add '-k en-us' to the qemu options to indicate that your guest uses the american layout. Actually that's not exactly it: it specifies which layout should be used to convert from keycodes to scancodes. qemu will then do the translation from your native layout to the one used by the guest. With some glitches, however. Passing -k en-us to qemu will make it assume that the layout of the host keyboard is US. In some cases, it works by chance, in other cases, it doesn't work. - If I press the a key on my french keyboard (which is where q is on a qwerty keyboard), qemu gets an a, and since it assumes that it's a US layout, it converts it to the scancode of key a on a qwerty keyboard, transmitted to the guest, which thus emits a. All good. - Now, if I press ! on my french keyboard (which is where / is on a qwerty keyboard), qemu gets an !, and since it assumes that it's a US layout, it convers it to the scancode of key 1 on a qwerty keyboard, since that's where the ! is there. It's transmitted to the guest, which thus emits 1. Bummer. Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-hurd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Well, it works nicely for my colemak layout, but then again, colemak does not touch any special characters it just moves the letters around.
