User Feedback :: Keymap issue (DSL 2.0 embedded)



Hello,
I tried DSL embedded, which is a famous idea ! Nice bundle of small debian running with Qemu.
Thanks for this tremendous work !

I have an issue when changing the keyboard (Not to change it, but when changing).

I start with dsl-2.0-embedded.zip, and uncompress it.
Then I launch dsl-windows.bat
It start, and the keyboard is qwerty US.
I launch the DSL panel, and choose fr-latin-1.
Then keyboard selector closes, I decide to backup the changes I've made. and restart using fluxbox menu.

When I restart, it fails to give me french keyboard.

Message:
Loading /usr/share/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr-latin1.kmap.gz
unknown keysym `Control_braceleft`
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr-latin1.kmap.gz:18: syntax error
syntax error in map file
key binding not changed.

====================

I tried manually, and reproduce the problem
bash-2.05b# loadkeys fr-latin1
Loading /usr/share/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr-latin1.kmap.gz
unknown keysym `Control_braceleft`
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr-latin1.kmap.gz:18: syntax error
syntax error in map file
key binding not changed.

bash-2.05b# loadkeys fr
Loading /usr/share/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr-latin1.kmap.gz
bash-2.05b#

It seems the fr-latin1 keymap packaged in DSL 2.0 embedded is wrong ... All other fr** keyboard is fine.

latin1 is the only keymap that works well for french keyboard (Never used another one.)

Hope this will help for next release

Cheers
Fred

I finally used fr-pc using MyDSL/Keyboard, and restart DSL
The meyboard is working now, except 1 or 2 keys, by at least, I can get é, and keep /!\ available.
