Bug#239827: wrong keymap for XFree86 at install
Package: install
Version: d-i beta3
I installed sarge with d-i beta3 an hour ago and I couldn't log in
under gdm. As a french user I have characters in my passwords you
can't get with a us keymap setting (for ex '#' is AltGr-3).
Looking at /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, I saw:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
I changed
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
and it worked.
I guess the XF86Config file was not updated when I chose my
keymap/language (as I hadn't selected the X packages yet).
I suppose this is the same for other keymaps/languages?
Regards,
Patrice.
