 Posted: Mon Apr 17, 2006 7:03 pm Post subject: x.org: Keyboard and charsets |
 |
|
I hope theres someone who can help me with this.
I got several problems with my (modular x.org) keyboard and charset settings.
1. in gnome-terminal german umlauts cant be displayed, but in aterm they are displayed correctly.
2. with my normal user i cannot use the meta keys (left alt/alt gr) to get an AT or a pipe... but with root i can, quickly tested in gedit. and i didnt find any x related config file in my users homedir that could affect this.
3. last but not least my setxkbmap tool doesnt work. i found several possible solutions for this around here, but there is no one that could help me, it still doesnt work.
i know these infos are bit too marginal, but if you need further info, log or anything else to help me just ask  dont have a clue what special infos to post atm... :-/ |

What do you mean by "doesnt work" ? setxkbmap fails and complains or just execute and the result is wrong to your expectations ?
May be the output from | Code: | | strace setxkbmap | grep 'open' |
could help.[/quote]
For point 1 , I have same kind of problems. May be a font charset matter, or utf-8 "feature" or ...

Sorry I have no solution for now.
And I gave you wrong command, but it could be a good thing after all :
Command should have been
| Code: | | strace setxkbmap -rules xorg -model 'pc105' -layout 'de' 2>&1 | grep open |
or as I've just learned to answer you :
| Code: | | strace -e trace=open -v setxkbmap -rules xorg -model 'pc105' -layout 'de' |
in order to get just the open lines.
But I collected that :
- you run your command as root. Avoid to do so would not harm.
- the problem seems to come from over the socket opened as FD=3.
Can you try things again, but as normal user this time ?

seems that there are missing some files for the rules or something, right? so how can i get them back or which package do i have to remerge? xkeyboard-config i have merged several times now... that doesnt seem to be the right one. or is the problem with something else? |

Hi, sorry I have no clue.
In your first dump I recognize you had the rule files as I have (at list same location and same size).
The real loading of the keymapping is done by the X-server. So you may look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
