Re: [arch-general] neo - german keyboard layout

For X11 and Linux console this is completely separate.

For the console, you configure the keymap in /etc/vconsole.conf, and you add "keymap" to the HOOKS line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to have it loaded early in the initrd to enter your encryption pw.

For X11 you either use KDE's keyboard settings (since Neo is apparantly shipped with xkeyboard-config, it should be listed by xkb), or you just run setxkbmap somewhere in your X startup scripts as suggested by Robbie.

Most of the login managers (gdm, xdm, lightdm at least do) will use the $HOME/.Xkbmap file to set your xkb settings. You just put the setxkbmap options in the file, in the OP case that would be "-layout de,neo" I guess. -- damjan
