Hi, I presume changing the layout from US to Switzer will disable english layout for english keyboards if they provide incorrect layout code...
I noticed that you have created your own mapping file. Is there any manual for creation of new mappings for Sun Ray X server? Thanks , Julo Chrobak > Hello > > Many thanks for the info.
