XKB Symbol files

The xkb symbol files used by OLPC can be found at http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xlibs/xkbdesc/xkeyboard-config/ (Please refer to the xkb_symbols "olpc" sections of the various symbol files[1] for the OLPC-specific keyboard mappings).


OLPC keyboard layouts

Instructions for setting up keyboard switching in Terminal are on the Customizing NAND images page. On bilingual XOs, the multiplication/division key is replaced with a keyboard switching key.

Changing the language of the keyboard is independent of changing the language currently displayed. The language currently displayed can be changed by using the Language section of the Sugar Control Panel.

Membrane keyboard layouts

English (US international); Spanish (Latin America); Portuguese (Brazilian); Amharic (Ethiopic); Arabic; Nigerian (Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba); French; Thai; Urdu; Cyrillic (Russian); Turkish; Nepali; Mongolian; Kazakh; Devanagari; Uzbek; Pashto; Dari; Armenian; Khmer; Pulaar; Italian; Kreyòl; German; Chinese (Simplified); OLPC AZERTY

Non-membrane keyboard layouts

Starting with the XO-1.5 HS ("High School") edition, the XO laptop has a traditional (non-membrane) keyboard available as an option: English (US International); Spanish (Latin America);

Blank Keyboard Artwork

Artwork defining the inner dimensions of the membrane keyboard is available here: keyboard-blank.svg



Modifying your keyboard setting

The procedure for modifying the keyboard layout on your XO is described here.

There are two mechanisms on the laptop that are used to configure the keyboards: one for the console and one for the X Window System (and Sugar).

Console

Console keyboard layout files are in /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386. From the Terminal activity (or the console), you can use the 'loadkeys' program to assign a keymap to the the console. For example:

loadkeys es

for Spanish

loadkeys us

for English

X Window System

X Window System keyboard symbol files are in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols. Again, from the Terminal activity (or the console), you can use the setxkbmap to assign a symbol table to the X Window System. For example:

setxkbmap es

for Spanish

setxkbmap us

for US

setxkbmap -layout us,in -variant olpc2,olpc

for US and Devanagari

Making the changes permanent

The above changes are temporary. To make permanent changes, you should use the 'sugar-control-panel' program as described here. For example:

sugar-control-panel -s language Spanish/Argentina

This changes the values in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard.
