Belgian keyboard: backslash problem

[carl]

Hello,

I've installed Knoppix on my laptop, changed some things with the help of a good friend, but still, I have a problem with the keyboard when using XFree (console tty are fine).

It's a Belgian one, here is a picture: http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Devices/Input_Device/images/INPUT_belgian_keyboard.gif
(my laptop doesn't have a numeric pad of course).

The problem is that to get a backslash ("\" character), I should type AltGr + "<" (which is the key on the right of the left Shift key, see the picture). When I do that, I get a pipe symbol ("|").
Backslash is available with AltGr + ")" (which is the key on the right of the "0" key).
Other special characters (like @, é, à, |, etc.) are fine.

I haven't noticed this problem with Debian which I am used to.

For reference, here is the keyboard section of the XF96Config-4 file:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "be"

EndSection

Thanks in advance.

Ok. In Knoppix the keyboard is determined by a script.

/etc/init.d/keymap.sh

as root, edit the line:

loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.kmap.gz (or whatever)

to reflect the keyboard you want

and run

/etc/init.d/keymap.sh reload

Yep, problem known, solution too:

Are you using a recent Knoppix version? I posted this on the mailing
list a good while ago, but I don't think anybody cared or took notice.
That's about my only complaint: the perpetual &beta; status of knoppix.
