Topic: Keyboard problems
I have installed #! on a pen drive using LinuxLiveUSB Creator under Windows Vista.
Works like a dream, with some problems (of course) when I boot #! on a Thinkpad r50p
Problem 1.
In the boot menu I cannot choose anything else than "Persistent", since my keyboard does not seem to work at that stage. Luckily #! will start after a while by itself in Persistent mode.
Problem 2.
When running, I seem not to be able to find a correct keyboard definition, since with all that I have chosen, The following happens in the vi editor:
my arrow keys give me capitals B, A, C en D (only in INSERT mode) and other keys are also give me the wrong response for instance: # instead of \
I have tried the following:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
and I picked Thinkpad r60 or Generic 104-key PC, both USA and no further options. However, no change can be seen before or after reboot.
Also it did not help to include in autostart: setxkbmap us &
Thanks for help!
