Keyboard keys not mapped.

Clumsy · 12-15-2004, 09:45 PM

After installing Slackware 10, my keyboard has been acting differently in the X windows; some keys appeared to be mapped to wrong characters. Some examples are:

question mark key brings up É
/ key brings é
tilde key brings up \
quotations bring up È

I ran xorgconfig and switched between 101 & 104 keyboards; as it is just a generic brand. No avail.
Any ideas where I might start with this; I had Redhat on before and had no issues; I have never seen this type of occurance.

Any help would be great, thanks..

May be you chose the wrong language for the keyboard?
Running this might help-

Code:

/usr/X11R6/bin/setxkbmap -layout us -model pc105

I found that by tracing the system calls made by system-redhat-keyboard. So should work. You may want to look into "man setkbmap" before you do this.
