YaST2 logs

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; cs-CZ; rv:1.9.1.0) Gecko/20090617 SUSE/3.5.0-2.2 Firefox/3.5

During the installation of openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 3 (Build0146) I selected Czech keyboard layout. When GNOME showed up after the reboot, only English layout is available.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
During installation select "GNOME" desktop and a keyboard layout different from "English".
Actual Results:  
In GNOME the keyboard layout is set to "English" and "Czech" layout must be added from the settings.

Expected Results:  
Both English and Czech layouts should be configured "off the shelf", the Czech should be default.

This affects other desktops too.

I installed with UK keyboard but within XFCE, the keyboard is a US one.

At a proper terminal (ie a CTRL ALT F1 terminal) I get the proper UK keyboard.

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, there is a section:


Section "InputDevice"
  # Driver "kbd" will be disabled unless 'Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"' 
  # is set in "ServerFlags" section. 
  Driver       "kbd"
  Identifier   "Keyboard[0]"
  Option       "Protocol" "Standard"
  Option       "XkbLayout" "gb"
  Option       "XkbModel" "microsoftpro"
  Option       "XkbRules" "xfree86"
EndSection

I manually adding that 'option' line, sorting the problem. At the top of that file it says:
