hi, I was trying to compose an locale livcd based on fedora I set the layout in in the .ks but hal won't get them as you know the layout is set by /usr/bin/fedora-setup-keyboard which is called by /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-keymap.fdi I put some stubs in the script like echo "1" >>$log and it was not printed but if I go into runlevel 3 then restarted hal it will be logged and when I change back to runlevel 5 the layout will be working so I added this braindamage to my .ks file [ -f /var/cache/hald/fdi-cache ] && rm /var/cache/hald/fdi-cache && service haldaemon restart to force hal to start again but this time it will set the layout my question what is the reason for the early started haldaemon not running /usr/bin/fedora-setup-keyboard and will hal be responsible for layout in F11 or it will be devicekit ? -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
