The default french azerty keymap (provided in the installation ISOs) is bad. The one found here works really nicely & reproduces the MacOS azerty mappings: ftp://ftp.linux-france.org/pub/macintosh/kbd-mac-fr.tar.gz See explanations here (in french): http://www.linux-france.org/macintosh/clavier_rpm3.html
We will be looking at a new keyboard layout setup with the next release (1.4)
Hmm, I am just wondering about 2 things: 1) Doesn't this need to be fixed upstream? I mean, for the console kbd package, we could probably include it without major pain as I think we do it in house. But for the XFree keymap, those r being installed from the plain old XFree sources, so if we want to replace one of those keymaps, shouldn't it be upstream, at XFree? 2) These new fr maps are rather "old" and thus I presume they r coded for ADB keycodes, so do they still apply at all? If users follow the PPC install guide they'll use Linux keycode styled keymaps and the new maps we'd put in wouldn't get used anyway, would they?
I still need feedback on my previous post concerning this bug. Please review it once you get notified...
> 1) Doesn't this need to be fixed upstream? Yes it probably does. On my powerbook keyboard (azerty) a lot of keys just don't function the way they should (there is no key or key combination for the '|', the '@' is assigned to a wrong key...) >But for the XFree keymap, those r being installed from the plain old XFree >sources, so if we want to replace one of those keymaps, shouldn't it be >upstream, at XFree? Xfree is even worse when it comes to the ppc version of the azerty keymap >2) These new fr maps are rather "old" and thus I presume they r coded for ADB >keycodes, so do they still apply at all? titanium powerbooks still have a adb keyboard So I guess the keymaps are still used. I vote for including it & trying to get it fixed upstream.
been open for ages, no idea what to do, so i let you guyz fight it out :P
I don't think this bug is still valid.
