That did help me but makes me to laugh
hoser derived from hosed
adj. Same as {down}. Used primarily by Unix hackers. Humorous: also implies a condition thought to be relatively easy to reverse. Probably derived from the Canadian slang `hoser' popularized ...
The system used for languages is locale. Try a Google search for locale and your language, if you can find the information I can add it to the Autoconfig script for Model-K.Will like to change the language to Canadian French,

I did now 4 hours of intensive non stop search on google and still did find it.![]()
Still googeling the web for the solution.
I may take a brake now and go eat.

The solution to change the language to Canadian French for the CONSOLE, XFREE and KDE.
---------------------------- LET'S START --------------------------*
-To define the good keyboard for the text mode console (in my case it’s Canadian French).
With root shell type :
loadkeys cf
This will not keep you config when you reboot
You will have to incorporate it in scripts of initialization.
This incorporation can be done by modifying the:
file/etc/sysconfig/keyboard
In my case this file contains
KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"
KEYTABLE="cf"
- Configuration of the keyboard under XFree86
You will have to modify the file:
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
In my case this file contains
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "ca_enhanced"
EndSection
- To satisfy the whims of KDE
If you tried to modify the keyboard with KDE Control Center, Keyboard Layout, you realized that nor the keyboard French (ASERTY is unusable!), nor the keyboard Canadian (accents are on uncommon places, it’s almost unusable for us!
), are not appropriate and there is only one choice which it remains to turn: US English! One can also use US English W/deadkeys, but once again, the accents are very badly placed and one needs to get used with the new configs for a very new keyboard! After an almost a day playing in the horrible
world of files configuration on linux (I say horrible because I didn't find concrete help) i discovered this strategy.
- become root
- cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols
- ln -s ./ca_enhanced fr_CA
- cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rules
- edit xfree86.lst and add somewhere the line:
fr_CA Canadian French
start the kxkb configuration tool (in the control center) and find the new layout available, type apply and at last it’s complete.
Congratulation you did an excellent work. Have fun![]()

Hi,
I am also trying to get a default french canadian keyboard in my remastered version of knoppix.
"etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig" contains parameters which can be used to change the defaults at boot time. For example:
fr)
# french version
COUNTRY="fr"
LANG="fr_FR@euro"
KEYTABLE="fr"
XKEYBOARD="fr"
KDEKEYBOARD="fr"
CHARSET="iso8859-15"
# Additional KDE Keyboards
KDEKEYBOARDS="de,us"
What I am wondering is... what would be the equivalent parameters for a french canadian environment?
I don't know when I am supposed to use "cf" and when to use "ca_enhanced" instead, when specifying the keyboard layout. What's the difference between the two?
Thanks,
Jake
