Hi All !
As i was preparing for may first attempt at compiling anything ever * i remarked that my a's came out as q's . After some searching on this forum i hit on a subject** and posted this :
Quote/
Am having the same problem as Johann : Belgian keymap (azerty iso qwerty, etc) is used in the console, but as soon as i use X lxde the mapping reverts to qwerty . This is on a fresh install of the official raspbian, with latest updates of firmware, software et al .
I also installed an sd card with pisces MATE R2, did all the updates and upgrades, and Bingo! Qwerty in the GUI . In MATE one can set the keymap in the preferences, but this shows the be(lgian) map duly set .
I can't recall having this problem when i first installed the official raspbian image, few hours after it came out, so it's got to be one of the upgrades to the x innards thats the culprit, hence this mayday call .
end quote/
I have rewritten the MATE sd-card with an original raspbian image and can confirm remapping works correctly in an un-upgraded X-lxde session on my machine . I can keep this image for now to run some upgrade tests, but don't know where to start . The fully upgraded wheezy armel image that i also have does not exhibit this flaw btw .
Thanks for reading .

Re: Keyboard remapping broken on X-windows ?
I have the same problem,
(keyboard mapping is in gnome different to bash, qerty istead of qwertz (german)),
and i can't find an option in gnome to change the remapping. there is no option in settings.
Has anybody made an custom xorg.conf or an other solution?
Thanks!

Re: Keyboard remapping broken on X-windows ?
I've found an workaround:
inserting the line
in the file /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
(before calling . /etc/X11/Xsession) helps.
You have only to insert the mapping at the end of the line.
inserting the line
Code: Select all
setxkbmap -option grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll de,de
(before calling . /etc/X11/Xsession) helps.

Hi All !
Thanks thsBavR10 for putting me on the right track .
The file you mentioned did not have any entries so i just added in
setxkbmap be
and it worked !!!
Forcing it in this way does not explain what, or how, it got broken in the first place though .
Hmmm ...
Bye for now .

Re: Keyboard remapping broken on X-windows ?
I am pleased that it has helped.
But this is, as you wrote, only a workaround, not a final solution.
Something has broken between the individual changes at the console to locale and keyboard-mapping and so on,
and the X11 / LXDE.
Don't know, where to adress this error (maybe in the rasbian board).

Re: Keyboard remapping broken on X-windows ?
I can confirm this problem. I'm not sure when I last time typed something in X, I noticed this only now.
Re: Keyboard remapping broken on X-windows ?
Same problem for me, mz swiss kezboard work fine under the standard bash but switch to Uk or US kezboard as soon as I run LXDE, as zou can see 

Re: Keyboard remapping broken on X-windows ?

Re: Keyboard remapping broken on X-windows ?
My problem is my Swiss German does work right from the start.
BUT the Alt Gr button will not work - so I cant get a backslash or AT symbol.
I have run "sudo raspi-config" and set the k/b again (configure_keyboard) but to no avail

Re: Keyboard remapping broken on X-windows ?
AltGr is working for me, both on commandline and in X11.
What does your /etc/default/keyboard contain regarding XKBMODEL ??
I also have this file:
What does your /etc/default/keyboard contain regarding XKBMODEL ?
Code: Select all
XKBMODEL="pc105"
I also have this file:
Code: Select all
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.test :
# only sectionInputDevice for testing
#
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "Xkblayout" "de"
EndSection
Re: Keyboard remapping broken on X-windows ?
My Alt Gr key works now.
I didnt do anything to get it going it just started working. I did change the power supply on the pi to a hub and connected the wireless USB transmitter to the hub, it could have been a power issue.
Here's my config file anyway:
