Problems with the @ and other "alt gr" combinations when using Dvorak keyboard layout
Last modified: 2005-12-08 22:17:18 UTC
Using the Dvorak keyboard layout there is a problem with the @ and other "alt gr"(like pound, dollar, euro, yen and so on) combinations Dvorak keyboard layout is configured in both KDE control panel and in sax.
sorry I don't understand the problem. If you don't mind provide the following information: cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard | grep ^KEYTABLE
Nothing happens when I press the @ and other "alt gr"(like pound, dollar, euro, yen and so on) combinations. Which makes it very difficult to write my email adress for instance. Writing "cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard | grep ^KEYTABLE" in a console gives this result: KEYTABLE="no-latin1.map.gz"
Thanks for the information I assume our mapping table for Norwegian layout is wrong. The command: /usr/sbin/xkbctrl no prints: $[ "XkbLayout" : "no", "XkbModel" : "pc104", "Apply" : "-layout no -model pc104" ] Is this correct for your layout ? I don't know that but I assume pc105 is the correct layout. Could you please tell me if it works for you if you replace pc104 with pc105 in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf Thanks a lot
Here is the relevant section in my xorg.conf file --- Section "InputDevice" Driver "kbd" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "no" Option "XkbModel" "ltcd" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbVariant" "dvorak" EndSection --- But changing this to pc104, or pc105 or many other variations does not help. Changing from dvorak to basic fixes the problem. But then I am back to querty layout. This is what I get if I write: /usr/sbin/xkbctrl no --- kenneth@linux:~> /usr/sbin/xkbctrl no $[ "XkbLayout" : "no", "XkbModel" : "pc104", "Apply" : "-layout no -model pc104" ] ---
Thanks for the information this seems to be bug in the XKB dvorak variant I think at least the "include "level3(ralt_switch)" statement is missing in xkb/symbols/pc/dvorak.
Kenneth, is this correct? Could you add it to /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/no annd give me some feedback?
Hi Sorry for the late reply. Yes. Now it finally works. Thank you very much! Note: This is also an issue in the other scandinavian(norwegian, swedish and danish) dvorak files too.
You've a workaround for you, but we want to fix this for the next distribution as well. :-) --> Reopening.
OOps. This has already been fixed in CVS of xkeyboard-config, so it's fixed for 10.1 Alpha4 since we already switched to CVS.
