User Feedback :: changing keyboard ?

Hi,

I'm french (nobody's perfect) and of course the first thing I want to do is to change to french keyboard (azerty, not qwerty).
1) I launch kbdconfig from the DSL control panel, I choose my favorite kbd, and ... nothing happens.
2) I call kbdconfig from a term, and I understand: this command can only be called by root.
3) "sudo su", then 2) again. Alas, my kbd still remains qwerty. What's wrong ?

secondly, it could be nice if windows partitions could be automatically mounted.

Hi, welcome to dsl.

To change your keyboard try:

crtl+alt+backspace (to kill X and all X applications)
loadkeys fr (or se, de, es, or whatever you country code is)
startx (to restart X)

As a new user, you might also try using the search button on these forum pages. If you type in french keyboard into the search keywords, choose all open forums, and from the beginning, you'll find a wealth of information about changing keyboards.

Hi all!

Like all in here says, what a wonderful distro!

... but, I tried the above, and it says that there is missing files. I am swedish and it looks WERY strange when mailing and writing.

There is a section in the Docs about setting the keymap.

Hope it's at least a little help.

asz, did you look here? Perhaps the swedish keyboard is se-latin1
