[SOLVED] Keyboard layout after upgrade

v6ak · 2010-07-19 08:32:31

I upgraded my system by pacman ( http://pastebin.com/6KAKpc3C ). Before upgrade I had Czech qwertz keyboard. Then, I've English qwerty keyboard.
Following lines are from /etc/rc.conf:

LOCALE="cs_CZ.UTF-8"
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Prague"
KEYMAP="cz-qwertz"
CONSOLEFONT=lat2-16
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"

xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/DhjLWSQp

Can you help me with problem, please?

Try this http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … d_settings

Do you have English layout also in the console or just in X?

I've English layout in plain console (without X11) and in X11.

Command setxkbmap cz switches the layout. However, there are several problems:
* it does not affect plain console
* it does not affect SLIM (login manager)

KEYMAP="cz" didn't solve this problem.

grep -v "#" /etc/locale.gen

Try to fill in CONSOLEMAP=

After I updated the file, ,it results in following output:

$ grep -v "#" /etc/locale.gen
cs_CZ.UTF-8 UTF-8  
cs_CZ ISO-8859-2  
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8  
en_US ISO-8859-1

I updated rc.conf:

LOCALE="cs_CZ.UTF-8"
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Prague"
KEYMAP="cz"
CONSOLEFONT=lat2-16
CONSOLEMAP=8859-2_to_uni
USECOLOR="yes"

These two operations have no effect on X11. I don't know if it has any effect on plain console (without X11). However, plain console is not very important for me.

Of course not.

Why didn't you bloody say so? ;-)

So apart from Slim you're all set?

I think that the first modiffication (locale.gen) can affect X11.

There is my /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi: http://pastebin.com/FjPNexmD

Is there any list of enabled/disabled keyboard layouts like /etc/locale.gen?

EDIT: I can add setxkbmap cz to my autostart.sh to have Czech keyboard in X11 except SLIM.

_Can_ - sure, but in your setup you need Czech and English and you got them both enabled.

To see a full list of keyboard models, layouts, variants and options, open /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst

10-keymap.fdi works only if you still use HAL for devices.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "XkbLayout" "be"
EndSection

is the new way of doing things.
