Setting up to be able to switch keyboard layouts currently requires editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, as described at [[Customizing NAND images#Keyboard]]. The keyboard switching key is the times-divide key in the Latin keytops, but with a different graphic in some keytop image sets for other alphabets.--[[User:Mokurai|Mokurai]] 09:07, 23 November 2007 (EST) |

Hardware
The ALPS Electric KGDMFA001 provides both Touch Pad/Tablet and keyboard.
80+ keys, 1.0mm stroke; sealed rubber-membrane key-switch assembly. (from Hardware specification#Integrated_peripherals).
Specification: File:KGDMFA001-non-confidential.pdf (towards bottom).
Non-keyboard keyscodes
As of 15:22, 19 June 2007 (EDT) the handheld-mode keypads bind to
- Right-hand side: up/down/left/right
- Left-hand side: KP_PAGE_UP/KP_PAGE_DOWN/KP_END/KP_HOME
Layouts
We have a single keyboard model (the hardware; geometry and keycodes), but many keyboard layouts, switchable in software. The default layout for any country will match the printing on the keys. Both the model and the layouts are (or will be) listed in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.xml .
I believe we do not yet have an xkb geometry file. MitchellNCharity 00:49, 3 October 2007 (EDT)
Setting up to be able to switch keyboard layouts currently requires editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, as described at Customizing NAND images#Keyboard. The keyboard switching key is the times-divide key in the Latin keytops, but with a different graphic in some keytop image sets for other alphabets.--Mokurai 09:07, 23 November 2007 (EST)
