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.

by now.
