Hi everybody, first time using sidux. I have been using Ubuntu for years, but I was a bit tired of reinstalling everytime...
I have a few problems with my freshly installed sidux, the most important one:
How to do I change the keyboard layout?
with google I found:
dpkg-reconfigure console-data
I follow the instructions, and then when looking for keymaps, it anwsers NONE
How do I install new keymaps?
(I have a French keyboard)
Thanks,
Jofre |

if you have kde, you may set keyboard layout in keykontrol, keyboard section.

Does your /etc/X11/xorg.conf have a section like this? Ought to be simple enough to try, anyway,
Quote:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
EndSection
regards,

Try this one:
setxkbmap xy, where xy is the code for your country. |
