loadkeys command can be placed in /opt/bootlocal.sh to make it load at bootup everytime.

Thx doobit, I'll try that after having solved the keyboard Pb on the live CD version!!!

Hi jls legalize

Thx for your input, BUT how did you do that???

When I go through Beaver or through the Terminal as root, I cannot see this hidden file (I've just got GNUstep and events, that's all !!). What trick did you use???

Thx for sharing your knowledge, have a nice evening

That doesn't matter, if you are backing up your settings you can be using the live CD or a frugal install to pendrive or hard drive. Once you get a keymap that works, you will want it to load every time right? That's how to do it.

The problem for you is to find a keymap that gets you the keys you want in the places on the keyboard that you want them to be. If you have them in some other distribution, then maybe you can find out where the package is available for that. Probably most packages that were built for Debian with the 2.4.31 or earlier kernel can be used with DSL.

Thx for your follow-up Doobit

Your point 1: I presume this is only for DSL because I've nothing in Ubuntu under opt, even w/ hidden files display

Your point 2: Do you have any idea
a) where I can find the keymap that works so far on Kaella Knoppix and Ubuntu, because w/ these 2 I've no keyboard Pb
b) once I find it, what shall I do w/ it?

As you can see, I'm far from being an expert on Linux, so I need "some kind of" help to go through this major issue (for me).

Thx for your time Doobit. I don't have much solutions on the French forum. I'm still waiting for some answers, but it's Sunday today isn't it!!!
