locales was installed, localconf not. After installing, it wanted to overwrite the existing files, and I said no (praying this to be a good answer, see below). > > ÂOr dpkg-reconfigure them, if already there? I do have to reconfigure locales every time I boot, because else I have qwerty keyboard layout instead of german (or was it console-common?). Mmmh, but if it is the one where I have to chose the files to be generated (deDE-files): yes, I did.

This would be a nice answer, if I only would know if I *want* it to be affected... Do I? I do not need cyrillic stuff on console, it only would be nice to see cyrillic file names. I guess this only has something to do with the console fonst, and they are installed.

Either check the above mentioned > config file, or do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86. I am a little bit too angry to reconfigure x itself. I'm proud that I see something... I tried my best, but I did not find any hint to xkb. In XFcfg, I would expect a load of the module, but there isnt. But I have kde keyboard switcher activated, with: setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout de -variant nodeadkeys and setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout ru -variant basic With this, alt-gr does not work :-) But pc105 is the correct keyboard, and: the Win(tm)-key works and starts the K-Menu.

But, ok, my printer did not print out at least one page on linux (no matter what version). Even if I selected the correct driver (Lexmark 1000), no test page was printed. Well....
