Note there now is a more modern way,but it might not work for everyone:

---------------------------------
Some people reported, their right ALT-key still does not work with this Dotpup, so they cannot type the @-sign.
Solution: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 7166#37166
---------------------------------
If you want to contribute own layouts to this Dotpup:
Install this tool:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... t=xkeycaps
Run it, and choose the layout for your country.
Save it.
Then rename /root/.xmodmap-puppypc to YourCountry-NumberOfKeys , for example russia-105
Now zip it:
gzip /root/russia-105 and attach it as a message.

Re: to test: Keyboard-layout-chooser
Mark, it seems most of this work has already been done for us. I got a tip from the internet to look in SuSE for ready-made xmodmaps. But as I had Ubuntu at hand, I checked that instead and found 58 of them in /usr/share/xmodmap/MU wrote: If you want to contribute layouts:

Pakt, great, thanks
I'll try to integrate them tomorrow.
Peter, when I experimented with xmodmap some weeks ago, I also had to add entries manually to get ALT working.
This message shows the relevant keys:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 4410#14410
You might try to use the other program I mentioned in the first message.
It has many inbuilt keyboard-layouts.
You could load PC-105-german, and try to get ALT working.
Then save as described and attach it here.
xkeycaps saves as /root/xmodmap-puppypc ,to really use it, you must rename it to german-105-peter and gzip it.
Then copy it to /usr/local/Keyboard-layouts/layouts/ , and you can choose it in my Keyboard-chooser.
The Keyboard-chooser simply extracts the selected layout to /root/.Xmodmap, and runs the command "xmodmap /root/.Xmodmap" then to activate it.
I think if we could get 10-20 Default-Layouts tested by users, we could cover most cases.

In beaver - nothing german..? bug from beaver..?
Choose de_de@euro there.
I can't try at moment, as I compile something, so I can't restart X.
Mark
Mark & Peter, there is a bug in Beaver - it doesn't show national characters correctly. I've posted it as a bug. See http://www.murga.org/%7Epuppy/viewtopic ... 8473#28473

If some keys do not work with the layouts of my program, please do what I described here (but this will not help with beaver):

The swedish map is (beside german-notebook) the only "tested" one, for the others we need feedback.

Hmm.. I got funny signs...

Four more things:
- I tested this choose-keyboard-layout-pup with both:
- the standard country keyboard layout and
- the older 2-letter method keyboard layout
It worked with both.
Question: Is there a difference when installing this Dotpup ?
- I can only test anything on a laptop - I HOPE it will work with a computer and a USB keyboard as well.
- All changes (exept installing the dotpup itself) took effect if and only if the computer was rebooted.
Restarting JWM only did not change the settings.
- It worked in all applications exept in Beaver. But this is a known bug as I have read above.

Mark, I'm sorry to say that there _are_ differences in the Swedish xmodmap I had before and the one from Ubuntu. The headers are identical, even the dates are the same, but I found for example:
xmodmap from Ubuntu:
keycode 18 = 9 parenright
keycode 19 = 0 equal
keycode 26 = e E currency
xmodmap from internet:
keycode 18 = 9 parenright bracketright
keycode 19 = 0 equal braceright
keycode 26 = e E EuroSign
So this might explain why other users had problems. It might be useful to compare the files with the ones in SuSE. They are supposed to be in /opt/gnome/share/xmodmap/
I don't have SuSE installed, so I can't check.
Update:I've compared the xmodmap files from Ubuntu 5.10 with the ones in SuSE 10.0 - they are exactly the same, i.e. they have the same errors. I would guess they came from the same source.
The Swedish keyboard is the same as the Finnish one, so I compared xmodmap.fi with xmodmap.se. They are not the same. It turns out that the Finnish one has the missing keys definitions.

keyboard layouts
Hi Mark,
I confirm that the xmodmap.es.gz (Spanish) works in OpenOffice 2.0, Opera 8.51, Mozilla 1.8b1.5, Firefox 1.5.1.
I am using Puppy 1.0.7 with the usr.more.sfs and usr.devx.sfs files on the C drive with pup001.
I tried some of the other Spanish versions and they did not work correctly or at all.
I am using xorg, and ICEWM, and while the keyboard switch from default (English) to Spanish works without having to restart X, I cannot switch back to default without restarting X.
There are times when I need the Spanish keyboard, and your efforts here are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
