Sean, The OLPC XO sets the keyboard based upon manufacturing data, since the keyboard layout is determined by the hardware. The language setting in the Control Panel is just for the language of the interface, which is independent of the physical keyboard.
We do need to resolve this for SoaS at some point. But as Martin points out, it is possible to set by editing a configuration file... -walter 2009/3/27 Martin Dengler <mar...@martindengler.com>: > On Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 11:39:13AM +0100, Sean DALY wrote: >> Thanks Simon, I have read the thread but it seems to apply to XOs >> only > > It applies to Soas. > >> My Acer Aspire One has a French azerty keyboard and boots up SoaS-1 >> and SoaS-2, but I can't find a way for it to see the French keyboard > [...] >> any way to solve this, even manual config? > > Try putting something like this in your /etc/sysconfig/keyboard file: > > KEYBOARDTYPE="pc" > KEYTABLE="us" > LAYOUT="fr,us" > MODEL="pc105+inet" > OPTIONS="" > VARIANT="azerty" > > Disclaimer: I haven't tried this and am mostly guessing. > >> thanks >> >> Sean > > Martin > > _______________________________________________ > Sugar-devel mailing list > Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel > > -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
