the LXDE keyboard configuration in ABNT2
the LXDE keyboard configuration in ABNT2
Dear lxde buddies,
I am using the debian sidux with lxde. I have a problem that I can not keep the LXDE keyboard configuration in ABNT2 (brazilian portuguese keyboard).
The command code (as root): # loadkeys br-abnt2 solved the problem (temporarily) but I just take a reboot (when logout) that reverts to the ";" instead of "ç" pattern, which It’s the American standard I believe so.
I also tried these codes:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and dpkg-reconfigure console-data
But no solution at all.It must have a way to permanently leave the keyboard to the ABNT2 map.
Thanks for the support. Does someone have some hints? I appreciate you helpful clues.
cheers

Until you get a better reply try.....
sidux does not have a kb fdi file but according to this link ...it may be a possible solution for you?
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor ... ard_layout
So I d/loaded the arch version and here it is.....save as /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi
source for file is http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/archlinux/other/hal/ if you do not trust me? heh heh ....and to obey GPL
---------10-keymap.fdi contents.....raw as per source.......

However reading that wiki link....it appears to me....I may be wrong...that line becomes?

YMMV
Please ensure you know how to use a live cd if this borks your system so you can move that pesky file out of there if problems.

Thanks a lot, buddy aus9. We've been wandering around by gnu linux forums all over the world.It is always a pleasure to find out good companions like you.While the epidemic lxde hasn't been launched yet, I can't avoid to use the sidux lxde.
cheers.
I' see you later!
