A mini-HOWTO test the XKB config without modifying the system configuration.
|
||
|
|
(Only tested with XFree86 4.3+.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First see what your configuration is. Note the model and layout.
|
||
|
|
$ setxkbmap -print
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then unpack the sources locally ...
|
||
|
|
$ gzip -dc xkeyboard-config*.tar.gz | tar -tf -
|
||
|
|
... and change to the delivered directory
|
||
|
|
$ cd xkeyboard-config-<version>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then try to load the current keyboard using the local rules
|
||
|
|
$ setxkbmap -v 10 -I$PWD -rules base
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now try to set different keyboards using the -model and -layout.
|
||
|
|
$ setxkbmap -v 10 -I$PWD -rules base -model pc102 -layout intl
|
||
|
|
Look in the file rules/base for other example models and layouts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If there was a problem, you can reset the keyboard like so:
|
||
|
|
$ setxkbmap -rules xfree86 -model <noted model> -layout <noted layout>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If that doesn't work, you may have to log out and log back in.
