Puppy210 - Keymap problems

[slapshot]

Hi everybody,

I was trying to have the eurosign key (Alt right - E) and I installed a Mark dotpup some time ago. Now, on my notebook I cannot have right and left and down cursor arrows work and Alt right works such as Enter. I tried to delete /etc/keymap (which is containing it.map) and make the wizard again, changing my layout from the puppy wizard, tried to uninstall Mark's dotpup but always with the same result. What other can I do to have my keyboard does work ?

Thanks

it depends on what keymap you are using, and what version of Puppy you have ... Puppy 2.x keymaps are not the same as Puppy 1.x keymaps, and Puppy 210 has slightly different keymaps to Puppy 213

if you are using the Xorg X server, what keymap is set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? it probably should be:

Option "XkbLayout" "it" #xkeymap0

the "it" keymap should give you the EuroSign when AltGr+E is pressed

you can switch to the "it" keymap by typing in an rxvt console:

setxkbmap it

you can set the E key to work like the "it" keymap by typing:

xmodmap -e 'keycode 26 = e E EuroSign cent EuroSign cent'

you should be able to get a EuroSign by holding down the ctrl+shift keys and typing: 20ac

Thanks GuestToo,

sorry for lack of informations, I still have to learn the "Linux way" .
So, Puppy 210, XVesa, keyboard map = it. I searched a bit and I have seen I installed a /root/.Xmodmap file (I don't know if it was there already), I seem it was a emacs mapping so some keyboards key didn't work. Now I'm editing this file to have these keys to work and I was able to do it less than for num_lock key which is refusing to work. Not a big issue on my notebook but I would like to know how it is working now.
I could try to delete this .Xmodmap file and see puppy's behaviour. Maybe it can works well as at first boot.

Thanks.
