From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.79 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.8 sun4u) Description of problem: It would be fine if kbdconfig can also modify X configuration (as mouseconfig with --modifyx option) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. kdbconfig 2. 3. Additional info:
Does the new keyboard tool do this?
Yes it does. It modifies /etc/sysconfig/keyboard and /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 for the new keyboard layout. It also calls setxkbmap and loadkeys to load the new keymap for the console and the current X session. However, it currently modifies the XF86Config-4 file manually. It would be nice to use Alex's new XFree86 library to do the modfication instead of hvaing the file intelligence inside redhat-config-keyboard. Also, redhat-config-keyboard does not currently have a text mode interface. Once I implement that, we could replace kbdtool if we want to. notting, any opinions here?
Having a text mode tool would be good, yes.
I meant on replacing kbdconfig altogether.
If we have a new text tool, sure.
A text mode now exists for redhat-config-keyboard. Just run it with 'redhat-config-keyboard --text'. It will default to text mode if an X server isn't currently available as well. This should resolve this bug report. redhat-config-keyboard-1.0.1-7 should be in Rawhide now.
