Slackware 10 does not recognize the French keyboard


My French keyboard is not recognized under Slackware 10 (with Slack 9.1 it was possible).

I use xorgconfig.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf :

Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
# Option "XkbVariant" ""
# Option "XkbOptions" ""


/etc/profile.d/lang.sh :

export LANG=fr_FR

locale -a :
....
fr_FR
fr_FR.utf8
fr_FR.utf8@euro
fr_FR@euro
...


The keyboard keeps being american, though I am sure that xorg.conf is modified by xorconfig as I can see the file being changed from the default setting.

What I am doing wrong ?

Thanks.

Actually it is a bit bizarre :

under windowmaker and kde, the french keyboard is recognized, however it is not with gnome.

Still inquiring why.

I don't know if it will help but did you try loadkeys fr-latin9.map ?

Also try to set :
export LANGUAGE=fr
in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh
