[arch-general] Problems with keyboardinput
Hello, I have a second Arch running in a virtual machine. Recently I noticed that I can't write some characters like @, {, ~ .. and the like. It seem's that AltGr is somewhat broken. I know that I had this problem with my normal PC. But the solution is 30kilometers away and buried somewhere unter ~/tmp.. (hopefully) As far as I know - it was something simple with kbdfont or something like that... -- Gruß, Johannes Täglich http://blog.hehejo.de und du fühlst dich gut. http://cryptocd.eduforge.org/online_version

I too have keyboard problems, and commented about it here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9725 The original complaint has to do with VMware, but other users also complain about random keys not working. I have VMware installed, but do not run it on this workstation (the kernel module isn't compiled and neither the network nor the daemons are running). My symptoms are: repeating characters (holding down a letter, or the scroll arrows) don't work, ALT-Fx keys don't work, CTRL-click in seamonkey doesn't work, etc. Rebooting solves the problem for a week or so, then things break again. I even swapped out my old keyboard for a new one, but that didn't solve the problem. -- Joey Kelly < Minister of the Gospel | Linux Consultant > http://joeykelly.net
Hi. I'm not sure if it's same problem. The fix for this problem was simply a oneliner in shell. May someone show me the maillinglistarchive of this ML? Then I try to find it. -- Gruß, Johannes Täglich http://blog.hehejo.de und du fühlst dich gut. http://cryptocd.eduforge.org/online_version

Thank you. I looked through these mails quite a bit - but I didn't find my old thread. And I don't have this nice snipped of commandline here in ~/tmp anymore.. May someone tell me the orgirinal KEYMAP in rc.conf? perhaps it works with an english-map. Which program is in charge of the keymaps on console and X? -- Gruß, Johannes Täglich http://blog.hehejo.de und du fühlst dich gut. http://cryptocd.eduforge.org/online_version

KEYMAP="us"
Which program is in charge of the keymaps on console and X?

forgot to say that this is for console only -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
Thank you very much. I'll go and try! -- Gruß, Johannes Täglich http://blog.hehejo.de und du fühlst dich gut. http://cryptocd.eduforge.org/online_version
