Copy /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi to 
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi

Edit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi:

us can be replaced by uk, fr, etc. - your choice.

Reboot.

I found another way that seems to work, and does not require any changes to 
/etc files or copying from /var

Assume you are using gnome. Then add   "keyboard layout indicator" to the panel 
and set it to your preferred keyboard layout. Use the options to delete all 
keyboards you do not want to see.  Then irrespective of
 the keyboard shown in the Gnome signon panel, it appears or will keep the one 
you originally chose  from the keyboard layout setting

Probably not. You can try and see if it's working of not then you remove 
something.

You can also try (if you need them):

terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:switch,grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:num
250 30

   OK, thanks, I'll try that.

   Can I remove the other stuff in the XML?  Will it still apply the 
/usr/share settings before the /etc ones?  I'd rather only override the 
actual value I want to change.

Re: Fedora12 keyboard choice setting is not respected.

2010-03-22 Thread Neil Bird

   After a bit more googling, I can see:

$ lshal|grep input.xkb|sort -u
   input.xkb.layout = 'us'  (string)
   input.xkb.model = 'evdev'  (string)
   input.xkb.options = 'terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp'  (string)
   input.xkb.rules = 'base'  (string)
   input.xkb.variant = ''  (string)


   Which may pertain.  Where'd that 'us' come from?  My xorg.conf says:

Option  "XkbLayout" "gb"

>> When I chose my logon, Gnome shows USA as the keyboard.

   I've been seeing this since upgrading to F12 as well.  I've seen hints 
when googling that it's an issue with gdm, but I've not pinned it down.

   I've been having to remember to change the keyboard on login every time. 
  Gut feeling is that it resets back to USA after a reboot, but then leaves 
the keyboard nobbled if you forget and log in with it (incorrect keys 
mapped, etc.)


> Can you list what locale info is in your grub boot kernel lines, eg:

   I only have LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=uk-logitech that seem relevant.


   I've also seen mention of:

/var/lib/gdm/.gconf/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/%gconf.xml


   Mine had us and the above uk-logitech entries.  I've deleted the us entry 
(3 lines) to see if it makes a difference, but I've a feeling it won't 
(gconf tends to cache in RAM, so changing that file is likely not to do 
anything, and it must've got the 'us' from somewhere else, so it probably 
will again).

Can you list what locale info is in your grub boot kernel lines, eg:

Fedora12 keyboard choice setting is not respected.

2010-03-19 Thread Leslie S Satenstein
Living in Canada and working bilingually, my keyboard is Canada French ca(fr).  
It is not USA.

I run Fedora12 in English, but the keyboard is the one I mentioned.  Here is 
the problem that recently started to occur.

When I chose my logon, Gnome shows USA as the keyboard.  If I do not change it, 
then the USA keyboard will take precedence over my logged in Gnome settings. 
Furthermore, if I go to System-->preferences-->keyboard, it shows Canada as 
default, and USA as behind it.  Even though I click on Canada, I cannot get rid 
of  the USA settings until I delete it.

If I log out and return, the problem returns.

What can I do to correct this aggravating annoyance?  My problem never occurred 
with earlier Fedora versions (example F4 to F12 pre-February)

Is the USA default forced because I chose English as my basic language.  It was 
no problem in the past, why is it one now?
