Bug 531818

As an addendum the YaST keyboard module isn't showed/installed in M5

It's no longer possible to configure your keyboard layout with SaX2 (module has been removed). Use your desktop tool to change it (on-the-fly). The system wide defalt for keybaord layout in X depends on the setting in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard:KEYTABLE. In your case this maps to 'br'.

Actually I selected SaX2 because I thought it was where the bug was hidden, not because I was sure of bug's origin.

And I'm using gnome-control-center to change my keyboard layout. This bug is about a situation right after DVD install, without messing with any settings.

Would it be possible to provide the required information according
to our HOWTO

Layout is "br". So where is the issue?

The issue is: selecting portuguese_BR before installation gives me US layout.
After performing a second install the contents are:

(xorg.conf)
Section "InputDevice"
  # Driver "kbd" will be disabled unless 'Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"'
  # is set in "ServerFlags" section.
  Driver "kbd"

And I still get ';' instead of 'ç', '/' over ';' and other "misplaced" characters.

This is the way I managed to get back my layout. If this can lead you to a fix during installation...

1. Edit sysconfig and remove autologin
2. Reboot
3. Select user
4. Below the user/password box, reselect 'Brazil' layout*
5. Log in

* 'Brazil' is already selected.

What's the output for 'setxkbmap -print' for using autologin and when reselecting 'Brazil' layout in gdm?

Hi,

I had this output for M5 and autologin:

elchevive@linux-8i1m:~/teste-doc> cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard | grep KEY
# e.g. KEYTABLE="de-latin1-nodeadkeys", "us" or empty for US settings
KEYTABLE="br-abnt2.map.gz"
#  or KEYTABLE will be used then -- most keyboard maps don't have a
YAST_KEYBOARD="portugese-br,pc104"
elchevive@linux-8i1m:~/teste-doc> setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+br+inet(evdev)+inet(microsoftpro)"  };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"     };
};
elchevive@linux-8i1m:~/teste-doc>

Regards,

Output for M5 right after DVD install is the same as posted by Ranghetti.

Output for M5 after reselecting 'Brazil':

isis@linux-15ja:~> setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+br+inet(evdev)"  };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"     };
};


Also,after reselecting 'Brazil' in GDM screen from bug 531824 appears.

There is no difference in xkb configuration besides the "inet(microsoftpro)" for the internet keys that get even removed when you reselect 'Brazil' in gdm.

Hi,

The output from 11.1 (working) is:

elchevive@linux-e7el:~> setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "xfree86(abnt2)+aliases(qwerty)"        };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+br" };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(abnt2)"     };
};
elchevive@linux-e7el:~>

The difference is in the last line xkb_geometry which gets wrong in Factory

Isis doesn't see this difference according to his comment #12.

Hi,

Even if I change the keyboard layout in KDE system settings I don`t have the desired keyboard layout. Trying the command suggested by KDE system settings I got the following error:

elchevive@linux-8i1m:~/teste-doc> setxkbmap -model abnt2 -layout br
Error loading new keyboard description
elchevive@linux-8i1m:~/teste-doc>

Any hints?

Same for me. Honestly I have no idea how to fix that issue within a static HAL .fdi file. What somewhat works is using us layout and then running

  setxkbmap -model abnt2 -layout br

I believe Egbert knows more about that keyboard stuff. It's completely confusing to me.

Hi,

I tested it with Milestone 6 KDE LiveCD (build 235) and doesn't matter which keyboard layout I choose (neither by changing in country/language nor in the summary before installation) it always had the same behaviou (en_us).

But in the other hand, after installed, if I change in KDE system settings or using the comment in #17 it works!

Regards

No idea why you reassigned that bug. Reverting.

@#19 - just for completness, german layout works fine.

Fix for keyboard map.

I've updated keytable4hal to also set the keyboard model. This is required for abnt2 and jp106 keyboards.
Also the microsoftpro symbol table doesn't exist any more. Closest replacement is microsoftprousb. I've added a patch to fix the keyboard map.
I expect this will address the issues with the Brazilian keyboard layout.
We still have bug #518281 which may also cause problems.

Thanks. Fixed. sax2 and xorg-x11 submitted for openSUSE:Factory.
