It seems to me the main problem here is not kbd-chooser, but the kernel(modules) and the bootscripts. The primairy function of kbd-chooser is to select a keymap (i.e. the layout of the keys for different languages), _not_ to get the keyboard working. That is also why kbd-chooser is run _after_ languagechooser: the keyboard is already expected to be working. Joey and I had hoped that adding the relevant usb modules on the initrd would solve the 'keyboard not working after boot in languagechooser' problem. Vincent reports the module _is_ loaded, but apparently unused. Maybe a conflict between the regular driver and the usb driver? So, what we really need for this to be solved is people who know about sparc kernels and the boot procedure to have a look at this. (That said, keymap selection would have been the next problem, so I'm still glad that that has been solved.) Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
