keyboard woes [solved]
Posted: 30. Nov 2010, 00:41
Hi,
I decided to put salix on my old laptop this weekend and ran into problems with the keyboard. In short, although choosing the standard US qwerty keyboard, the keyboard was not a US keyboard when it came time to enter a username. I tried both accepting the default keyboard in the install, and choosing a qwerty US keyboard - even testing it at that point to confirm it was correct. Still, when it came time to enter a username, the keyboard was not correct. To me this is post-install - as if the keyboard was US-qwerty during installation but not US-qwerty after installation. I don't remember any problems typing anything such as mount points.
Is this a known problem? Should I install and then change the keyboard later? For what its worth, I tried typing "g0l" on my "US keyboard" and instead the character were "g/3".
The download was this version (downloaded Nov 28, 2010):
Salix Xfce 13.1.2 CD ISO
