Tiny Core Base > CorePlus

Greek keyboard layout

(1/13) > >>

Hi. I have installed Tiny Core and I want to add greek keyboard layout and set it so as to can change layout using Alt+Shift combo. I installed kmaps.tcz but judging from what I have read, it's difficult to do it on my own without any help. Then I saw this:


--- Quote ---CorePlus is an installation image and not the distribution. It is recommended for new users who only have access to a wireless network or who use a non-US keyboard layout. It includes the base Core System and installation tools to provide for the setup with the following options: Choice of 7 Window Managers, Wireless support via many firmware files and ndiswrapper, non-US keyboard support, and a remastering tool.
--- End quote ---

I thought that CorePlus could be a solution for me. I created a liveUSB and booted from it, but I don't see any non-US keyboard support option. I only see a default option, options about Window Manager, extensions for Installation, Wifi, Firmware, a "command line only" option & a "waitusb=5" option. Nothing else. Any help?

Read the book: http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/book.html

Ok. In the book I read this:


--- Quote ---If you have kmaps.tcz installed, you can use this bootcode to set the default console keymap. The console keymap is also used by the tiny X servers (Xvesa and Xfbdev), but not the larger X server Xorg.
--- End quote ---

I have Xorg-7.7 installed. This means I can't change layout?

I exited to prompt and tried:


--- Code: ---sudo loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/qwerty/gr-pc.kmap
startx
--- End code ---

But it still types latin.

I also tried gr.kmap instead of gr-pc.kmap. Same result.

I still have Tiny Core and not CorePlus installed.

Hi,
You need a config file. For example
/usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf

--- Code: ---Section "InputClass"
Identifier       "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard  "yes"
        Option           "xkb_model" "pc105"
Option           "XkbLayout"   "gr,us"
Option           "XkbOptions"  "grp:alt_shift_toggle,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection


--- End code ---
Note, I haven't tested these setting.

Thank you. I created /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf with these settings, rebooted, but still Alt+Shift doesn't change layout to greek.
