keyboard mapping

https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/l10n/#ru-localize When I startx, it says "Keyboard" is not a valid section name. I read some xorg.conf and tried an "InputDevice" section with "CoreKeyboard" as an Identifier. Now it says it must have a Driver line. At this point I thought I had...

I installed FreeBSD-15-STABLE and the base runs fine despite very few minor flaws. But not so the ports, thus I switched them back from latest to quarterly and reinstalled most ports (from packages; except a few that are doing fine). Setting the keybord map to ch works well for the text...

I'm middle-aged if I were going to live 104 years. Been using these things since I was 14. My first computer was not even a PC, nor a game console. I don't know what it was, except that the keyboard was in English (I'm Spanish) and the screen was bright green on black. It had some kind of...

Hi all, I've got a strange issue. My keyboard layout is set to "gb" which works fine most of the time. However at seemingly random moments the keyboard layout changes. For example the "up arrow" key becomes the "print" key, and other keys stop working. I then manually run "setxkbmap gb" and...

Hi Gents, I'm sure, I wasn't searching hard enough and that's why I didn't find any way to add a second keyboard layout to the VT-console with the ability to switch between them. I'm talking specifically about the VT-console, please, keep in mind, I have NO ANY kind of X-systems. It's...

Hi All, I am in the process of setting up a FreeBSD desktop. I have set the British keyboard layout on installation which works fine on the console. However in X it defaults to US layout so I set it to the GB layout using "setxkblayout gb". This does change the layout to GB but I lose all of...

Hello everybody, I have installed Gnome 42 and it seems to me that everything is ok. I also set the Gnome interface and keyboard layout to Italian but when I type in gnome terminal I still have the old English layout. I set both the Italian keyboard for the xorg video server, and from the Gnome...

I use XFCE on a desktop, and am mostly happy with it. But I have found one issue that I have not been able to find a solution for. If I suspend to memory my desktop wakes up from it almost instantly when I want it to, but my native language keyboard layout is replaced with what I assume is a...

My respects to all!... please tell us during installation, after selecting the layout...for example, Russian...do you need to check it out somehow? or is it better to choose by default and then configure the layout in the updated system?

Perhaps here is an X11 expert that helps me save time. :) An Introduction of how X11 treats the keyboard is here: https://www.jwz.org/xkeycaps/man.html Also the manpages xmodmap and xev help. I have an old Compaq german keyboard. Q1. Can I expect that the correspondence of KeyCaps (letters...
