Package: install
Version: d-i beta3

I installed sarge with d-i beta3 an hour ago and I couldn't log in
under gdm. As a french user I have characters in my passwords you
can't get with a us keymap setting (for ex '#' is AltGr-3).

Looking at /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, I saw:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver  "keyboard"
        Option  "CoreKeyboard"
        Option  "XkbRules"      "xfree86"
        Option  "XkbModel"      "pc104"
        Option  "XkbLayout"     "us"
EndSection

I changed
        Option  "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option  "XkbLayout"     "fr"
and it worked.

I guess the XF86Config file was not updated when I chose my
keymap/language (as I hadn't selected the X packages yet).
I suppose this is the same for other keymaps/languages?


Regards,
Patrice.
