Have followed the instructions for installing kmap.tcz and doing the command loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/uk.kmap but no change takes place still has default u.s keymap on my aspire one netbook
any help would be great :-\
-
Well Ive discovered that after doing ctrl + alt +backspace then restarting x with startx it seems to work or at least partly i get the hash key and @ keys in the right place but still no sign of the good old u.k pound not anywhere on the keyboard!!!
So still not right ???
-
Did you drop to console before giving the command? It does not work completely inside X.
-
Yes I killed x and restarted it again with startx and the keys changed but not fully however when I did a reboot they were back to us keys again, perhaps this is something to do with adding a boot code?
-
If kmaps.tcz is in your tce directory, and loaded on boot, you can use the bootcode kmap=uk to have the kmap loaded on boot.

I run the command you mention from /opt/bootlocal.sh
# Load the UK keyboard. This requires kmaps.tcz to be installed and loaded at bootup.
loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/uk.kmap
As I understand it, commands in this file are run on each boot-up, using root user credentials, before the GUI is started. I find it works reliably when run in this way.

Thanks for that the only way I got it to work in the end was by installing xorg :-\ and that works ok except when using lxterminal it wont type a pound sign or for that matter it wont in this here forum!! but it does type correctly in xterm and when using beaver etc!! weird :o another thing I just cant seem to get working is the touchpad scrolling I have setup xorg.conf and on a reboot it works fine just once then after that nothing!!
