Keyboard Mapping


I believe I posted a while back.

My keyboard mapping is not normal. My previous installation did not encounter this problem, seems its only this install.

Im running Slackware 10 Kernel: 2.4.26.

My keyboard mappings are incorrect for the most part. The keys A to Z work fine but If I want to do a back slash this is what happens é

A list of some problematic keys would be as follows:

Orig Key My key

/ ................ é
\ ................ à
" ............... È
' ................ è
[ ................^
]................ ç
{................ ¨
}................Ç

Thats just a small example.... My question marks come out as "É"

Attached is my XORG.conf file if needed. Im running a Compaq keyboard model KB-9963. Its done the same thing on my HP keyboard. I dont know what else to do and at this point in time I do not want to re-install slackware.

(re-named to .txt extension for uploading purposes)

hxxp://zerosrealm.com/images/xorg.txt

Any help would be great. (board wont let me post url, replace the xx's with tt)

I don't run X myself, so I can't make sure if what I'm saying makes any sence, but maybe you can try changing the

Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "ca"

For XkbModel you could try "pc101", "pc102" or "pc104"
For XkbLayout you could try "us" or "uk"

But then again... maybe you already tried some of those options... If not, try changing the XkbLayout first...

Good luck!

I reinstalled for the hell of it.

The keyboard messes up when I config XORGCONFIG.

Before I even ran Xorgconfig I booted using startx and my keyboard was fine. Now it is messed up again...

you are probably doing something wrong. What exactly are you changing when you run xorgconfig.
