keymap question
People: Ver: FreeBSD 4.9. XFree86 4.3.0 lesstif 0.93.36_1 HW: IMB PC-365 with 200MHz Pro, 96 Meg RAM, 4 Gig HD Symptoms: striking , when in X, produces the same effect as entering Ctrl-Del-+, it causes the screen's resolution to change. I have been running Ver 4.3 on this hardware for over a year without trouble, though not using lesstif. I decided to upgrade to 4.9, and all works fine, except the above mentioned trouble. I am using the lesstif window manager, which works on a box with identical hardware, but using Slackware 9.0. Using sysinstall, I have tried three diff key maps: USA ISO<==> us.iso ISA CAPSLOCK-CTRL <==> us.pc -ctrrl none<==> NO The right hand side are the values written to rc.conf. The environmental var XKEYSYMDB is set to: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XkeysymDB, which is the file's location. I'd appreciate any help.

*Easy* keymap question...hopefully
Hi! Just installed FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE, and, since I'm used to the Swedish keymap, I chose 'Swedish ISO' keymap and ISO_8859-1 accordingly in sysinstall. When in pure terminal mode, everything's fine, but when running X, I get the default US keymap (or at least it seems to be just that). Now, isn't that just a wee bit weird? What's the issue here? I remember choosing something like a special ISO-capable tty or something at the end of sysinstall...is that it? I put some files of maybe limited interest on my server, for your convenience: output of env command: http://www.arrhythmetic.net/freebsd/env output of uname -a:http://www.arrhythmetic.net/freebsd/uname my /etc/rc.conf: http://www.arrhythmetic.net/freebsd/rc.conf ...so now you can start *hacking* me! :) /Fredrik, Stockholm ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

X uses it's own, completely independent setup for keymaps and the like, which is entirely different to the way the console is set up. You can choose an appropriate keymap and keyboard layout from the ones available under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb -- see the README files in that directory for lots of useful information, which boils down to: Use setxkbmap(1) to change the settings at runtime. Add appropriate commands to your /etc/X11/XF86Config file to set the defaults -- that will probably be something like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "se" EndSection Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
