Description Ulrich Lange 2005-08-24 08:22:30 UTC 
Situation:
HP Omnibook 6100 with German Keyboard
KDE 3.4.2. Level b
Under root is the keyboard layout changeable to German layout with 105 keys.
A normal user cannot do this.

I can't really test changing my keyboard to a keyboard I don't have, but I can 
change my keyboard just fine using the control center. What is the error 
you're getting?
Comment 2 Ulrich Lange 2005-08-24 12:03:38 UTC 
In the window "Keyboard Layout" I can not change "Keyboard Mode" and "Active
Layouts" if I made a login as a normal user by example. The fields are hidden.
With root no problem. The normal login user is created by default settings.

It would not be a problem I could change the keyboard layout during the install
procedure. I choosed English-UK Language but the system has got a German keyboard.
Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2005-08-24 12:50:59 UTC 
you see the checkbox "Enable Keyboard Layouts", right?
Comment 4 Ulrich Lange 2005-08-24 22:27:31 UTC 
Sorry, its working. But what is the reason to have this and to hide this? I
think its superfluous.
