XFCE: how to change the keyboard layout?

Espina · 09-16-2008, 04:30 PM

hehehe, I thought the same!

One more question: My keyboard has some extra buttons on top (such as play, stop, internet, etc). They are used for multimedia purpouses I think.

How can I enable them?

See this post and the rest of the thread after that post. I have posted information on this type of thing a few times, so if that thread doesn't help you may wish to search the forums for more about keybinding (but be aware that I haven't posted about that for quite a while, so if you search just by my last posts it would take a fair bit of time to find more threads).

the key is the '>' and '<' (the same key).
In the console works fine, but in X dont.
Whith KDE dont happens this
The layout that i use is "latam".

Any idea?

Thank you!!

PD:Sorry my bad english

I have the same problem with my keyboard. The layout I use is "es" for espanol (spanish).

I have changed from PC101 to PC105 and nothing happened, switched back and nothing happened either: still the same problem.

It's not a real big deal, but it's just that I don't know any workaround this issue and I do need the > and < signs.

Thanks!

I don't know through what menus you are asked exactly and what you have to answer to each question.
Count the keys and you have the answer to one question.

is it for me?
i have a new thread in http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-panel-670185/ and by "clicking popup-menu hide panel" topic.
