The procedure for modifying the keyboard layout on your XO is described [[Customizing_NAND_images#Keyboard|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 <tt>/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386</tt>. 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 <tt>/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols</tt>. Again, from the [[Terminal]] activity (or the console), you can use the <tt>setxkbmap</tt> 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 [[Sugar-control-panel|here]]. For example: |
|||
sugar-control-panel -s language Spanish/Argentina |
|||
This changes the values in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard. |
