Title: Cacko 1.23 Keyboard Problems
Post by: Hemulen on June 28, 2006, 03:27:19 pm

I just upgraded to the Cacko-rom. I really enjoy most of the things in here, but I'm not able to configure my keyboard properly.

I found that I can change language with Keyboard-icon (cyrkbdset) , but since there is no Norwegian language available, I need to modify it. I've created a keyhelper.xml, but that doesn't seem to have any effect.

Another problem is that the keyboard doesn't work properly inside XQt/Debian Workstation. I'm running the same Debian installation since before the upgrade to Cacko. I have download different .xmodmaprc's and loaded them in Debian. What ever I do, some of the keys (for instance /-key) doesn't work.

Any ideas? I really don't want to go back to the sharp rom :-(

There are other files involved, keyhelper doesn't always help.
See the language files in /home/zaurus/Applications/cyrillica
I don't know much about these files, and I don't know if this reall y helps you, thoguh. But it may be worth a try.

Thank's it did help me a bit  

Now the keys are ok in Cacko. Unfortunately it's still giving problems in Debian. For instance the d-key maps to keycode 47. The same does /-key. That's not a good sign.  I also get weired behaviour from some other keys

After a lot of trial and error I figured out the problem in Debian. As it turns out it is the swap of / and , keys in Cacko that causes the problem. When that's removed, the keyboard works as expected in Debian
