Hello, on a Machine with opensuse 12.3 (X.Org X Server 1.13.2) the keyboard layout is not always set correctly. WIth our self developed keyboard (for explosive environments, connected via usb) the layout is always US on a plain X-Server (started with /usr/bin/X :0 vt07 -r -br -dpms -s off) with a started xterm. In xorg.conf.d there is a german keyboard configured:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "LocalKeyboard" MatchIsKeyboard "on" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" EndSection According to xorg.0.log the keyboard is recognized correctly and the german layout is used: [ 12.142] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "USB-Serial Controller" (type: KEYBOARD, id 9) [ 12.142] (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev" [ 12.142] (**) Option "xkb_model" "evdev" [ 12.142] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "de" [ 12.142] (**) Option "xkb_variant" "nodeadkeys" But the layout is definitly a US-Layout (the "/"-Key gives a "-", etc...). If i connect a normaly usb-keyboard (microsoft USB keyboard, our keyboard is also connected), the layout is correct. After pressing only one button (doesn't matter which one) on the microsoft keyboard then the layout on our keyboard is also german. Any hints about this? there is also a bug-report on opensuse where others have also a similar problem (but with bluetooth keyboards) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682903 Regards Daniel -- Daniel Spannbauer Systemadministration marco Systemanalyse und Entwicklung GmbH Tel +49 8333 9233-27 Fax -11 Rechbergstr. 4-6, D 87727 Babenhausen Mobil +49 171 4033220 http://www.marco.de/ Email d...@marco.de Geschäftsführer Martin Reuter HRB 171775 Amtsgericht München _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
