Heh, stupid of me. I missed that when reading these earlier :-P
Of course, you have to go back to keyboard selection to change the
keyboard. And I've often enough seen that this works for the newt
frontend (and just verified that it still does).
It also works for g-i, but _only_ for VT2, not for VT5!
The first selection works on VT5, subsequent selections in kbd-chooser do
nothing.
Ok, now i got it too (i tought changing language would have changed
keymap too).
Yesterday i went further, and associating the call
dfb_input_device_reload_keymap( dfb_input_device_at( DIDID_KEYBOARD ) );
to the Insert key in the df_input application.
I could verify the keymap reloading worked correctly at DirectFB level
when i issued, in sequence, various "loadkeys it" and "loadkeys us" from
a different VT.
Then, i took a simple GTK app with a text widget where to input text and
a button to force keymap reloading, and still i could switch from us to
it and back to us again issuing "loadkeys .." from another VT and then
forcing keymap reloading.
I wonder how keymap switching is implemented in the d-i : isn't
"loadkeys xxx" called every time the user wants to change keymap, like
on a regular debian system ?
