101 tiny bugs and questions...
although i setup the keymap correctly in the install (i need qwerty uk keymap)
and dureing setup the keys worked perfect.. after install, i seem to be using an american kermap. i found a rc.keymap file, and find it runs the command loadkeys uk.map this is correct, i thought maybe this script isnt running, so i ran the command manually. loadkeys uk.map the program then reports "Loading /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/uk.map.gz" yep, this is corrtect. however... im STILL using the american keymap ! keys like "@>\| are in the wrong place ! this is very annoying. how do i fix this ? ALSO.. when i 'su -' in a command line, and enter the root password, i am unable to launch graphical porgrams. i get the error "unable to connect to X" why ? since i installed slackware 10 a few hours ago, i have re-compiled the kernel, and installed new nvidia drivers... hwoever thiese poblems were still here before, so it has nothing to do with that. any help ? edit: ohh, and how do you turn the mouse wheel functionality on ? |

feel the urge to do another upgrade ;) Unless of course you mean in X ... there is a chance that Slacks installation doesn't set X up to match the full-screen console. Have a look at your whatever x.org's config file is called 8-) Quote:
used to, has secure defaults. One of these is NOT to allow other users to display stuff on your XSession. If you feel that root needs to run a graphical tool you have two solutions (which a brief search on LQ would have showed you): 1. as normal user: xhost +localhost ... after your su - do "export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0" 2. ssh -X root@localhost "command" But being a Guru and all that you should really have known these ;} Cheers, Tink |

For your mouse open the the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, and then find the "InputDevice" section for your mouse, and add the following line:
Code:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" |
I would try to set up correctly LANG locale (if not already set) in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh and csh (maybe it may help), try to load keymap with full path, edit xorg.conf/ XFreeConfig to suit proper keyboard settings, the number of keys parameter can do bad thing if set improprelly (I personally tested that :( )

fixed it by following keefaz's advice... (pretty much) maybe this is just me... but if i were writing the slackware installer, and the user has selected the english keyboard, not only would i have set the console keyboard to english, but set X to english too. seems stupid for X and the console not to use the same layout config. |
Well as I programmed a little simulate keystroke utility in X, I can say that X is special with that, look at /usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h, there are specials keycode for X

I am a newby and know not what is a keymap, but just in case you meant the keyboard, this is it. |
