Using an English keyboard with accents in Fedora Core 2 and KDE (1.22 KB, text/plain)

Description Jose David Forero 2004-06-08 23:58:11 UTC

Description of problem:
After the upgrade of my Fedora from Core 1 to Core 2, I noticed very
serious problem - my keyboard layouts were missing, no switching -
nothing! In KDE Control Panel -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard
Layout, the Available Layouts list was empty, also XKB options list
was empty too.
I was astonished! After a long Google struggle, I found the solution
here. It seems that the XFree86 to XOrg migration, which occurs in
Core 2, has caused this problem. Seems also that Control Center
expects to find the available layouts in the xfree86.lst file, while
the new xorg layouts are placed in xorg.lst.
Execution of these commands as root fixed my problem:

cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules
ln -s xorg.lst xfree86.lst
ln -s xorg.xml xfree86.xml

Thanks to Ralf Ertzinger for his post - it saved my day!

      This did not work here, so here�s what did work:

      cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules
      ln -s xorg-it.lst xfree86-it.lst
      ln -s xorg.lst xfree86.lst
      ln -s xorg.xml xfree86.xml

this guide.
