Re: Swiss Keyboard? (woody and sarge)
Martin My problem is solved under sarge now, which is what I wanted. It is in fact hillarious, I only had to choose the right language in the gdm-login! BUT: - I set up the right language while installing and it didn't take it. - It doesn't work with woody. So, as I found other people having the same problem, I guess the gdm-version of woody is buggy concerning language settings. As I tried that under woody I didn't think about trying it under sarge. Does your list generate less than 200 mails per day? (I will have a look anyway). Thank you very much.

Swiss Keyboard? (woody and sarge)
Hi I hope somebody can help me with the following strange problem. I know about wrong settings in XF86Config-4 with keyboards and I know it will work or not consequently, but at the moment I experience only a part of this problem. I have an IBM ThinkPad with a swiss-german keyboard. On the console, ä, ö, ü and Alt-Gr work perfectly, they still do in the gdm-login-screen. As soon as I am in X, they don't work in a terminal. They work within other programs like OpenOffice, FireFox and many others, but not in a terminal (gnome-terminal, xterm etc.). The most annoying problem is, that they do not work in the compose window of my favorite mail-client (sylpheed) eighter, where I really need them. They work in the Address and Subject-field of the compose window, but not in the message field. The keyboard section in XF86Config-4 contains: - XkbRulesxfree86 - XkbModelpc102 - XkbLayout de_CH Where else do I need to make settings? I'm running woody and sarge on this machine, the problem is exactly the same! Thank you very much for any help or advise. Martin

Don't know if it helps, I had this kind of problems on several installation, for now i got: Section InputDevice Identifier Generic Keyboard Driver keyboard Option CoreKeyboard Option XkbRules xfree86 Option XkbModel pc105 Option XkbLayout de_CH # Option XkbVariantde_CH # Option XkbOptionsde_CH EndSection for a woody installation with a swiss-german keyboard and: Section InputDevice Identifier Generic Keyboard Driver keyboard Option CoreKeyboard Option XkbRules xfree86 Option XkbModel pc105 Option XkbLayout fr_CH EndSection for a testing/unstable installation with a swiss-french keyboard. perhaps it's the pc102/pc105 The keyboard section in XF86Config-4 contains: - XkbRulesxfree86 - XkbModelpc102 - XkbLayout de_CH Where else do I need to make settings? I can't think of other files to change, but on the german one, I couldn't get it with dpkg-reconfigure, I had to change XF86Config-4 by hand. I'm running woody and sarge on this machine, the problem is exactly the same! Thank you very much for any help or advise. I hope it helps.

Swiss Keyboard
Hi, I have an IBM ThinkPad 600 with Swiss keyboard. My Xfree-4 Config says: Section InputDevice Identifier Generic Keyboard Driver keyboard Option CoreKeyboard Option XkbRules xfree86 Option XkbModel pc104 Option XkbLayout de_ch Option XkbVariantnodeadkeys EndSection With this I get some of the keys: eg those in the first row together with shift: +*, but I do not get the ones from the first row which require the alt key: |@# I am also missing all french keys.

Re: Swiss Keyboard

My Xfree-4 Config says: Section InputDevice Identifier Generic Keyboard Driver keyboard Option CoreKeyboard Option XkbRules xfree86 Option XkbModel pc104 Option XkbLayout de_ch Option XkbVariantnodeadkeys EndSection It's de_CH, uppercase! but I do not get the ones from the first row which require the alt key: |@# It's not really the Alt key that produces those characters, but the Mode_switch key. Anyway, possibly because of the mistake above the Mode_switch key isn't set properly, what do you get with 'xmodmap -pm' ? I am also missing all french keys. I suppose you mean àéè when you do shift+ö etc? Again, correcting the uppercase problem in XF86Config-4 should fix the problem. Good luck. Erik
