Description of problem: Non-US keyboard layouts don't work during GUI install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): The one from Phoebe CD1 , CD3 contains the following RPM : anaconda-8.0.92-8.i386.rpm How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. start a GUI install 2. select "Slovenian" keyboard layout 3. proceed until a text box can be used to test the keyboard Actual results: Keyboard uses US layout, not Slovenian. ( the key between "t" and "u" prints "y" ) Expected results: Keyboard operates in Slovenian mode. ( the key between "t" and "u" prints "z" ) Additional info: "z"/"y" is not the only problematic key, all the rest behave like US an not as they should. After the layout is selected, the keyboard on the textual consoles ( VT1, VT2 ... ) is set correctly. Also the keyboard on the installed system is set correctly , both on console and X. I also tested the following layouts : "German", "Belgian" , "Czechoslovakian" None of them worked. It also appeared that "Czechoslovakian" did not work on VT2 either, but I don't know the czechoslovakian layout, so I can't be sure. I also observed the following on VT3: when a new keyboard layout is selected, the used command is printed : setxkbmap -layout <name> -model pc102 All layouts I tried used this cmd line, except US, which used "-model pc105". This may be a clue.
