[Freedos-devel] mkeyb us: don't need a driver for US... BUT I AM NOT IN US!

2021-05-18 Thread Paul Dufresne via Freedos-devel
Trying FC4 in QEMU on Linux with:

$ qemu-system-i386 -enable-kvm -m 64M -cdrom FD13LIVE.iso  -hda hd.img -soundhw 
sb16 -boot c



I have install to hard disk.

Tried to choose Alternate-French for keyboard layout... I was expecting to 
choose Québec from a menu, but it continued to install.



After installation it was in french. (AZERTY) which is painfull when used to 
QWERTY.



I have tried, "mkeyb us" but it replied that I don't need a driver for US 
keyboard.

BUT I AM NOT IN US, AND I WANT TO CHANGE BACK TO US!

IT DID NOT LET ME DO IT.



I had to edit FDAUTO.BAT, change mkeyb FR to mkeyb US (could have put it in 
REM)... then reboot to fix the problem.



MKEYB US should change to US when you are not in US!



I am not reallly angry... anymore. ;-)___

Hello,

And there we go with the example I was referring to in my previous email:
the same language requiring two keyboard layouts (possibly two codepages
too).
Well, I seem to understand that your problem is with the installer: it
should have given you the option to choose Canada/French to use a
non-French/France layout.

If I took it wrong, and you wanted a "hot-switch" of keyboard layouts from
FR/whatever to US/no-driver, with FD-KEYB you can switch it off/on with
Ctrl+Alt+F1.

BTW, this mail sounds to me a bit more of a freedos-user email rather than
a freedos-devel email, so I am adding the other list too :)
