From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801 Description of problem: During installation, french-canadian is not listed in the keyboard settings. (Known as "CF" on the console and "ca_enhanced" in X) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start roswell installation 2. No french-canadian in keyboard settings 3. Actual Results: Option was missing. Expected Results: Would expect a "French Canadian" keyboard setting. Additional info: This has been an issue since Redhat 6.0
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Done and seems to work for me
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.

Added to XFree86 4.2.0-2.5, please test and confirm, then either mark RAWHIDE or REOPENED with explanation. Thanks.
Closing as CURRENTRELEASE (7.3 and later)
