Title: [SOLVED] us international keyboard map: how to load it at startup
Post by: paskali on December 10, 2011, 04:05:11 PM

Hi all international users of tinycore: as well as a lot of you, i need to know how to (if it is possible) to load at startup us international keyboard map because i am italian (i need accents) and because i have a notebook with us layout keyboard.
Is it possible to load different layout as kernel parameter? (e.g. "kmap=us-int" or similar)
Or must i do to load an extension and/or to change any startup scripts?
Thanks!

a) load the kmaps.tcz on boot
b) use a bootcode like mine (put your italian stuff instead of my german setup)  "kmap=qwertz/de-latin1"

Im a newbie too. Just with a bit more listed posts..!
So, keep asking (no reason to get a red face for it); we will answer.
And in few months you can perhaps become a TCL developper?

For the console:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i kmaps
loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/dk.kmap
For Xorg, something analgous to this:

Code: [Select]

cat /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "keyboard defaults"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"

    Option "XkbModel" "pc104alt"
    Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
    Option "XKbOptions" ""
EndSection
