Keyboard on X with missing keys
Hi all
I'm missing the bar sign, the @ sign (I had to paste this one from the address
in the header), bracketleft, bracketright, EuroSign and I don't know what
else on the keyboard on X.
For the console: no EuroSign, that I found, but the other important signs as
@, bracketleft, bracketright, bar etc. are available.
I.e. my main problem is the keyboard on X.
So how do I install a working keyboard? Docs, good (!) docs, not just snippets
of knowledge, somewhere?
I know I could simply do something like:
cd /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz
cp mac-usb-de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap.gz /etc/console/boottime.gz
But I'm careful with this as I did not find a way to check a newly installed
boottime.gz on the *running* system, i.e. before rebooting. After all with the
wrong keymap I won't be able to even log in, if my guess is right.
Here is what I have:
If I do a
xmodmap -pke
I get this (excerpt):
keycode 16 = 7 slash bar backslash
keycode 46 = l L at
keycode 14 = 5 percent bracketleft
keycode 15 = 6 ampersand bracketright
keycode 26 = e E EuroSign
It seems I have a linux keycodes map:
$ zgrep 'keycode *1 =' /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz
keycode 1 = Escape
And it seems I have a linux-keycode kernel:
$ grep MAC_ADB /boot/*
/boot/config-2.4.20-powerpc:# CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES is not set
/boot/config-2.4.21-ben2:# CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES is not set
Really?:
$ grep ADB /boot/*
