Comment 1 Brent Fox 2001-08-22 16:05:03 EDT

I think if you do a text install then you can select 'cf' in the keyboard list.
 I'll take a look at the GUI installer.

Comment 2 Brent Fox 2001-08-22 16:12:42 EDT

Mike, can we get a French Canadian keyboard added to XFree?  I can't seem to
find one, which would explain why they are available only in the TUI installer
and not in the GUI one.

Comment 3 Marc Deslauriers 2001-08-22 19:17:43 EDT

In order to get the same layout as the console's "cf" in XFree, I have to
manually edit XF86Config-4 to contain the following:

Option "XkbLayout" "ca_enhanced"

Can the cf/ca_enhanced combo be added to the GUI installer under a "French
Canadian" label?

Marc.

Comment 4 Mike A. Harris 2001-08-24 07:43:22 EDT

I don't handle anaconda.  Is this present in Xconfigurator as a
RFE as well?  I can add it there if you let me know what is needed.
The keytables need to exist in X first.

Comment 5 Mike A. Harris 2001-08-24 07:46:24 EDT

Xconfigurator code fragment:

static char *keymap_translate[] = {
  "be-latin1 -> be", "be2-latin1 -> be", "bg -> bg", "cf -> ca_enhanced",
  "de-latin1-nodeadkeys -> de", "de-latin1 -> de", "de -> de",
  "dk-latin1 -> dk", "dk -> dk", "dvorak -> dvorak", "es -> es",
  "fi-latin1 -> fi", "fi -> fi", "fr-latin1 -> fr", "fr -> fr",


So aparently, Xconfigurator already has this change, it is only
missing from anaconda.

Comment 6 Mike A. Harris 2001-08-24 07:53:39 EDT

Just found and fixed in anaconda sources, in kbd.py, piece o cake. ;o)

class Keyboard (SimpleConfigFile):
    # the *first* item in each of these wins conflicts
    console2xlist = [
            ("be-latin1"         , ('pc102', 'be', '')),
            ("be2-latin1"        , ('pc102', 'be', '')),
            ("bg"                , ('pc102', 'bg', '')),
            ("br-abnt2"          , ('pc102', 'br', '')),
            ("cf"                , ('pc102', 'ca_enhanced', '')),

Checked into CVS, someone else will have to build a package.

Comment 8 Jeremy Katz 2001-08-30 18:08:58 EDT

Done and seems to work for me

Comment 9 Brent Fox 2001-11-08 20:45:52 EST

The option for French-Canadian still doesn't appear in the graphical installer.
 This is because there is no entry for it in the
/usr/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst file.  The installer uses this file to get
the list of layouts to present.

mharris, can you add the following line to xfree86.lst:
ca_enhanced   French-Canadian
I think that would fix the problem.

Comment 11 Mike A. Harris 2002-01-23 11:28:11 EST

Added to XFree86 4.2.0-2.5, please test and confirm, then either
mark RAWHIDE or REOPENED with explanation.

Thanks.

Comment 12 Mike A. Harris 2002-12-20 01:58:27 EST

Closing as CURRENTRELEASE (7.3 and later)
