Hi,
I can´t find the file to configure the keyboard-settings. On the console there is no ü,ö,ä, even in X-Mode (I download Xf98.dsl, xf86config.dsl, XF86-Devel.dsl) the server falls back to pre-XKB keymap
the messages:
skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libspeedo.a:spencode.o" no symbols found
error opening sesurity file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
couldn´t load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
Questions
1) how to get german Keyboard-types for console?
2) (how to get them for X... probertly wrong place to ask for)
I´ll be thankful for any ideas!

A method, many methods.

edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
e.g.

kernel /boot/linux 24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=791 lang=de etc.

then, run,
update-grub

shutdown -r now

menu
XShells
Root Access
vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
edit
shift :
shift w
shift q
shift !
enter
update-grub

Reboot

then the options are in lilo.conf on a line
"append=root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=791 lang=de"
and so on....
