Keymap in OpenBox

alphahsk · 2008-01-01 21:08:32

I have keymap defined in rc.conf as this: KEYMAP="no-latin1"

This works well in the system shell before any WM or DE is loaded. But loading OpenBox brings back a US keymap. How do I set the keymap for OpenBox to use?

setxkbmap no

setxkbmap no

Care to elaborate..?

I added the two following lines to xorg.conf (Section "InputDevice") and now it works:

Options        "Xkblayout" "no"
Options        "XkbModel" "pc105"

sorry:
setxkbmap (1) - set the keyboard using the X Keyboard Extension

Does that go in xorg.conf ?

i have this (setxkbmap de) in my ~/.xinitrc. when you´re using openbox-session put that into your ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh.
sorry for the delayed answer. i forgot about this post.

im using these settings for my xorg.conf to add Greek language support for the keyboard

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Keyboard Identifier"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us,gr"
    Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,altwin:super_win,grp_led:scroll"
EndSection

XkbOptions string is to enable the alt+shift keylayout switching, enabling the win_key and turning the Scroll Lock led light on when Greek is selected.
