[arch-general] Problem with keyboard in Gnome
Hi all, I have got everything up and running, but I am having a problem. I want to use the swedish keyboard layout in Gnome but what file to specify that in? In the console I have svlatin1 and country is sv_se. Any tips? Many thanks, Christian

You can set the initial keyboard layout in gdm (at the bottom of the screen), or (if you're already logged in), using System → Preferences → Keyboard.

But that is not saved when I log out and restart the machine if I set it in system preferences.

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg.conf Setting Keyboard Layout With Hot-Plugging --- Section "InputClass" Identifier "Keyboard Defaults" MatchIsKeyboard "yes" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" EndSection that's working for me. Cheers, Ulf

Where to find the name for the Swedish keyboard layout?

Hi, Correct me if I'm wrong but that should be something like the names of these files /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/se-fi-ir209.map.gz /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/se-lat6.map.gz /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/se-fi-lat6.map.gz /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/se-ir209.map.gz Maybe se-fi-ir209, se-lat6, se-fi-lat6 or se-ir209? -- Guillaume

Maybe se-fi-ir209, se-lat6, se-fi-lat6 or se-ir209?
Those are for the Linux console, for X11 the files are in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ and there you see a "se" file. But really KDE and Gnome users have excelent GUI support for configuring the keyboard layout. Just use those. -- дамјан
