I'm not sure if this answers the problem you are having, so I'll let you decide. If you can boot the system in question, you can set the keymap in the kernel parameters. That way you always know the keymap you are dealing with. e.g. KEYTABLE=us And if you want to be sure of consistency in X, put a file in your home directory called .Xkbmap with a single line giving the name of the keyboard map you want X to always use. It will be set at login. I think these maps are stored in different places. The first, the kernel line, is the map for consoles (see loadkeys, and /etc/sysconfig/keyboard). And the second is, of course, part of X infrastructure (/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols). Unfortunately, they have different syntax. -- users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
