Can I get Romania keyboard layout ?
Hello
I have Slackware 12 (Linux 2.6.24) and I would like the Romanian keyboard layout I am used with since I used Windows. I mean I have the qwety/ro_win.map.gz file but it does not change the layout of the keyboard, but adds some combinations wiht AltGr key. Can I get a map that changes the layout ? How would I use it ? Thank you, Timothy Madden |
The usual way to get this on Slackware is to edit the keyboard section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Then restart your X server to make the changes apply. Example for German keyboard:
Code:
Section "InputDevice" Code:
Section "InputDevice" Code:
Section "InputDevice" Code:
#!/bin/sh Code:
#!/bin/sh |

I have rc.keymap and it reads exactly as you said. The problem is I want a different map (still Romanian, but a different one). Windows Vista calls it Legacy Romanian layout, WinXP and previous call it just Romanian layout. It is a qwertz (as opposed to qwerty) layout, that also switches "-" with "/" (and "_" with "?" if you hold Shift) and others. Where can I find more keyboard layouts for my OS ? I have searched the net a little and I am amazed how many romanian layouts people have made up, when qwertz was the standard all the time (until Vista). But the qwertz layout I want is now nowhere to be found ! Thank you, Timothy Madden |

For X there is another layout that is "hidden" in the German keymap file, I think you could activate it with selecting German layout and a "XkbVariant" line in xorg.conf. What I would probably do for console is to take the file /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/ro_win.map.gz, copy it to ro_mylayout.map.gz or whatever (in qwertz) and edit it. If the keymapping is to the greatest part ok for you this would probably mean not much extra work. Of course there might be another Romanian layout already done, but none seems to be installed with kbd it looks to me. (find /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386 -iname "*ro*" gives me only the ro_win map) |

Ok to get my good old Windows layout in X11 I need to specify
Code:
Option "XkbLayout" "ro" It is just already there. I still wonder why the console driver does not have the map. |
