Slack 12.1 - pipe key doesn't work in Brazilian keyboard

lucmove · 09-17-2008, 12:12 PM

I just moved from Slack 12 to 12.1, complete reinstall. Now I can't use the pipe/inverted slash key in my Brazilian ABNT2 keyboard. I am using this in my xorg.conf:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"

	Identifier	"Keyboard1"
	Driver		"kbd"
	Option	    	"XkRules" "xorg"
	Option	    	"XkbModel" "abnt2"
	Option	    	"XkbLayout" "br"
	Option	    	"XkbVariant" "abnt2"

This key worked perfectly in Slack 12. I don't know what else to do except go back to 12. Does anyone know how to fix it?

I just solved my problem:

KDE > Control Center > Keyboard Layout

My mistake: I thought I was supposed to configure the keyboard layout in the "Active layouts" window. I am, but also had to pick the right layout in the "Keyboard model" drop-down. Duh!
