Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am a little confused about the keyboard mapping, and what I made |
| 4 |
wrong to screw it up... |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
What I want is a keyboard with german layout and no dead keys, |
| 7 |
which was working under 32bit Linux. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
What I did additionally under the 32bit Gentoo was to dump all |
| 10 |
keysetting with xkeycaps into a ~/.xmodmap-file, remove the |
| 11 |
entry for CAPS LOCK and reload it with ~/config/openbox/autostart.sh. |
| 12 |
Works perfectly. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
After setting up the 64bit system, something subtle changes. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
With (as I think...) identical setting I got a mainly working |
| 17 |
keyboard layout with even the germen umlauts working BUT some |
| 18 |
(but important) keys NOT working: |
| 19 |
@ does not work |
| 20 |
Alt Gr was mapped to Page up |
| 21 |
. |
| 22 |
. |
| 23 |
and so on. Some very interesting variations.... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I tried to redump .xmodmap with xkeycaps but that did not |
| 26 |
work. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Finally |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
setxkbmap de |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
brings back "@" to normal as "ALt Gr". |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
But: No "no dead keys" ... all keyes were "alive", so to say... ;) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I do not only want to fix this, I want to understand, whether I need |
| 37 |
setxkbmap and whether/how it is possible to get back the former more |
| 38 |
simpler (and working) way of a keyboard layout. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Ah! By the way: There were no changes to xorg.conf between the two |
| 41 |
systems. /etc/conf.d/keymaps has the entry |
| 42 |
KEYMAP="qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys" as with the 32bit system. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
How can I fix this ? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Thank you very much for any help in advance! |
| 47 |
Best regard, |
