[xorg7] international keyboard issues [SOLVED]

kozaki · 2006-02-20 15:21:35

note that i've read the wiki as well as most of the related posts here in the bbs

thereafter i edited :etc:x11:xorg;conf (sorry, keyboard is lost)
got xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse and xf86-video-nv installed, as well as xorg-fonts-100dpi;
since it didn't do what i wanted, killed x and launched xorgcfg -textmode to reconfigure it, with no difference; shoud i try hwd -x ,

xorg7 starts in this location, but have issues left :

- keyboard configuration is lost in x : capital, accentuated are lost; i'm on a international (105) fr keyboard
- mouse scroll is gone
- the shift keys do not allow me to select any string (but the middle mouse button does)

cannot find yet a related topic that would give me some hint on how to solve this;
can someone give a hand on this issue please ,

Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Afaik, it should be
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"

hum, but xorgcfg and hwd -x did write it this way. guess it should be good to keep Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" (:interrogation:)

same thing under Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"

For your keboard:
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
instead of
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"

For your mouse:
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
instead of
Option "Protocol" "auto"

Trying out ...

is this writen somewhere and i missed it ?

It seems to solve all of my keyboard & mouse issues.
Only is the cursor quite bizarre ; when i go left with the [left arrow],the cursor shows in every position it goes (dunno if one can visualize this!), and doesn't blink anymore. Anyway that's just a detail that I'l cope with later.
Thanks a lot Cerebral
