 |
|
Hi everyone,
I'm having problems with hal and my keyboard (Layout Macbook PT in KDE). If I start my KDE session with hal running, I don't have cursor keys (up, down, etc), but if I start it without hal, everything is fine.
Is anyone having the same problem?
Note that this is only happening when using layout in PT, in US everything works fine.
Best regards,
Rui Vilão |

So why don't you simply configure hal to use pt layout ?
If you didn't notice, it's probably hal/evdev issue. |

I'm using kbd as keyboard driver.
I will look at your suggestion and report back.
Thanks for answering. |

I think that you just think that you're using kbd driver.
Read your Xorg log. |

In fact it's loading both:
(II) Module kbd: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.4.0.90, module version = 1.3.1
Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 2.0
(II) LoadModule: "evdev"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//evdev_drv.so
(II) Module evdev: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 0.0.0, module version = 1.0.0
Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 2.0
How can I be sure which module is in use?
and
How can I configure hal to use PT layout? |

Well, for xorg-server 1.4.2, I've got /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi that looks like this:
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<!--
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-keymap</append>
</match>
-->
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<!-- <merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">pc104</merge> -->
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">evdev</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">pl</merge>
<append key="input.xkb.options" type="strlist">altwin:menu</append>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
|
I think it's rather obvious how your should look like.
Of course, hal has to reread its configuration after you put a similar file there.
The info.callouts.add section is commented, as it was only needed before 1.4.0.90-r4,
with 1.4.2 it's not.
There are many threads about it.
And be aware, that your desktop env may mess up things, for evdev, keyboard must be set there too (to 'evdev managed').
