How would i save the default keyboard map on a HD install? Everytime i reboot it returns to a USA keymap rather than a UK. I put the uk setting in XF86Config, but i'm guessing that there's more to it than that. Its a default install of the latest version, i havent added anything else to it.

On a side note, is it a simple(ish) process to get suspend to disk working on DSL?

Thanks

Try to put "loadkeys uk" (without quotes) in /opt/bootlocal.sh.

You can also add in /home/dsl/.xserverrc the line :
sudo loadkeys uk

Same problems here (with DSL 0.49/HD-Install)...

I changed in "/etc/X11/XF86Config" (is only located there) the setting "XkbLayout" to "de" and rebooted, nothing changed.

I opened a terminal window, switched to root user and typed

Code Sample

loadkeys de
Loading /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de.kmap.gz

So, at this point, I should get "Umlaute" and the qwertz style in general. But nothing happened.

The /home/damnsmall/.xserverrc is not on my system.

Now, 20 minutes later, I found out "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard". I made a backup and changed all values from "us" to "de". After reboot, nothing happened again, even worse, "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard" gots overwritten again with old values...?

20 minutes later, again: :;):

I dont know.

I rechecked the XF86Config and heres the Keyboard Section:

Code Sample

Protocol "Standard"
XkbRules "xfree86"
XkbModel "pc104"
XkbLayout "de"

I googled a lot on this topic, but no results

Thx for ur help.
tscha

I have a HD installation of DSL 5.2 on a 500 MHz AMD K6 computer.
It has been working fine, but it took me a long time to figure out, that the solution was to add in /home/dsl/.xserverrc a line "loadkeys dk"

After the next reboot it worked!

Actually I followed Davids suggestion that you also see on this page.
