Urza9814 Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Well, a little before Christmas I bought an IBM Model M keyboard, and because of the keycaps I was finally able to rearrange the keyboard into Dvorak, which I'd been wanting to learn for a while but it was too hard to learn Dvorak while continually trying to look down to a QWERTY keyboard. Well, due to needing to print and getting Black and White II, I've been using Windoze for a while...so I'm finally back in Linux due to the rediscovery of Project Looking Glass and the discovery that it actually runs at a decent speed on Linux...but the probem is, though I have KDE using Dvorak, the CLI doesn't...meaning to login I have to use QWERTY, which is EXTREMELY difficult (I have to pull out an old keyboard and look off of it)... So...how can I change it for, like, the whole system and not just KDE? I'm currently using Slackware 10.2.

arctic Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 You can define the default language in /etc/lilo.conf. Add a e.g. lang=us section to it (or whatever keyboard layout you want to use). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aomighty Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Besides defining it in lilo.conf, I'm guessing you'll want to define it in xorg.conf (or XF6Config) too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
