I run KDE 3.4 under Gentoo on a G4 iMac. The keymap specified in xorg.conf is one designed for the extended Apple keyboard (109 keys) in the French language. It works quite well on the whole (in Konsole,

with the result that name and password have to be given in "qwerty",
which is rather annoying.

Does Control Centre -> System Admin -> Login Manager -> Appearance ->
Locale fix it?

No. One finds only US English there. French is not available.
It's the same with Control Centre -> Regional -> Country and Language. How could one make the system aware of French?

However, I have been confused, and I apologize for it: the panel I referred to does not seem to belong to KDE. Actually, I don't know how it came up, and I have not seen it again. Probably something in another X application.

There is something else about KDE: when xdm is added to rc-update, the real KDE login panel shows up at boot, and it understands azerty (contrary to what I had found, see above). But it does not recognize the password, replying "login failed", so that I have to resort to the console login, and do "startx".

This is serious: how can I fix it?
