gkrellm-xkb doesnt work
Hi I just installed gkrellm-xkb from the ports (1.00 on 5.1 release with Xfree86-4.3.0,1 and gkrellm2). I can enable it in gkrellm config, but there is no menu entry to configure it. The gkrellm install log says it installed just fine. The krell where the flags should be just shows a question mark. Is there normally an entry under Configuration/Plugins where I can adjust settings? Is my Xfree86Config wrong? Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Inspiron Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "inspiron" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Is there anything else I might have missed? Who has got this thing working? Oh, and the checksums seem wrong. I had them overridden, maybe there lies the problem? thanks, t. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Besides removing the options in XF86Config, I also had to remove the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/X0-config.keyboard that was generated by xf86cfg. > > Is there normally an entry under Configuration/Plugins where I can > > adjust settings? > > This plugin have no configuration dialog, that's intended. hehe, I somehow expected to be able to change the keyboard layout with a click. but the plugin does not intend that. looks like someone (me?) will have to implement another plugin that has this capability. thanks for the help, t. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You have to adjust the CoreKeyboard entry in the ServerLayout section of XF86Config to match the Identifier of the keyboard you want to monitor with gkrellm-xkb. -- Tomas Styblo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xC97EA4B6 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I've also just noticed that this keyboard model defines its own Group
name. So it's possible that your CoreKeyboard option is set correctly
but gkrellm still is not able to determine what country flag to use.
~~
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "inspiron" {
name[Group1]= "Laptop/notebook Dell Inspiron 8xxx";
~~
Unfortunately this Group name apparently overrides the Group name of
the "us" layout. I don't know about any work-around.
However, I've found by experimentation that with the following
configuration the Group names are visible to gkrellm-xkb at least
in case when the "cz" or "de" layout is active:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Inspiron Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "inspiron"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,de,cz"
EndSection
Maybe someone with better knowledge of the XKB extension could
provide some help.

By the way, why do you want to be able to change the layout by clicking ? Most people use a hot-key combination because they have found it's faster and more comfortable. That way you are not forced to put your hands off the keyboard while typing. If you use, for example, the following configuration: Option "XkbLayout" "cz_prog,cz,de,ru" Option "XKbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle" then you'll be able to use CTRL+SHIFT to cycle through all the specified layouts. -- Tomas Styblo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xC97EA4B6 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
