Re: CentOS6.4 and Apple keyboard

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi John,

I'm working from home today so I've ask the phd student to launch a PXE 
boot for a new full kikstart install with a PC keyboard and then try to 
configure the apple keyboard by hand. See the answers to your questions 
below.

The PC is re-installed  with a standard keyboard this morning and I have 
now:
>    /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
KEYTABLE="fr-latin9"
MODEL="pc105"
LAYOUT="fr"
KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"
VARIANT="latin9"
>    /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Doesn't exist
>    /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*
Empty directory

It was the idea this morning: restart with a fresh install and a 
standard pc keyboard and switch to the apple one after. But when 
selecting the apple keyboard in system-setup-keyboard menu I get:

Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
- a bug in libxklavier library
- a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation

X server version data:
CentOS
11300000

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd


So it is possible to work on the PC with the standard french PC keyboard 
but still not possible to use the apple keyboard.

Patrick
