keyboard issues in X

(1/2) > >>

 Got a couple of problems with my keyboard layout. i have a UK keyboard but TC sees it as a US layout. I googled and found i either needed to install  kmaps (fbxkb?) but they aren't yet in the Pi repo or use setxkbmap which the system doesn't recognize.
 At a push i can live with a US layout for now, it's a pain but manageable. The other problem is more serious, at the prompt all is fine but when i fire up FLWM none of the cursor keys work and this makes editing text impossible unless i drop out of FLWM to a prompt, edit what i want at the command line and then startx again, hardly ideal:).
 Any ideas anyone?

Right, I aware the issue. Xorg is a very early build (I mean in piCore terms) and must be revisited, probably rebuild. Its main purpose to provide a basis to build system components. It's a beta system :)

BTW, on my keyboard extended keys (Home, End, ...) are dead, but numpad keys are working. Not my favorite, but works.

In the mean time maybe importing Xorg from Raspbian works. Worth to try.

protaganist:
 Not really sure how to go about importing Xorg from Raspbian but i'll google it and in the meanwhile i'll simply put up with it.
 Cheers, Protaganist.

bmarkus:
Don't think Google can help in import, but Robert :)

curaga:
The kmaps binaries should be portable between arches, so you could just try copying kmaps.tcz over (assuming the busybox build has loadkmap).
