swiss german keyboard layout

hey thats great, my arch linux works now

but there is one thing:

i loaded my swiss german keyboard layout with

loadkeys de_CH-latin1

and this worked wonderfull. i added it into the X config. but now, there is one problem:

i just can't get all functions on which a have to press the ALT GR key (such as the at or the line etc. etc.)

does anyone know how to fix that ? i really need my at

thanks

Re: swiss german keyboard layout

i'm also swiss and use in the config for X11 ( /etc/X11/XF86Config) this for my keyboard:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "Keyboard"
  Identifier   "Keyboard[0]"
  Option       "MapName" "Standard Keyboard [ pc101 ]"
  Option       "Protocol" "Standard"
  Option       "XkbLayout" "de_CH"
  Option       "XkbModel" "pc101"
  Option       "XkbRules" "xfree86"
  Option       "RightAlt" "ModeShift"
EndSection

note that last Option "RightAlt" "ModeShift"

grüesslis :-)

Re: swiss german keyboard layout

forgot:

use in /etc/rc.conf

KEYMAP="sg-latin1.map.gz"

is better than load in /etc/rc.local "loadkeys" - but this is more a detail ;-)

alternative for some keyboards that are not standard is:

KEYMAP="de_CH-latin1.map.gz"
