Portuguese Keybord Layout

[hugobartolo]

hi,

I'm a beginner on VL, and I've try to install the VL on a Toshiba s1700 with a Portuguese keyboard layout, but i just can't manager to do it.

Can, anybody, help me?

thanks

You can do it from MENU > SYSTEM > VASMCC > X WINDOW > KEYBOARD SETUP.
But I think the better way to do this is editing the xorg.conf file directly. If you want to do that:

Open a console and login as root with the su command
Then with the text editor of your choice open the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, for example:

Code:

# medit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Find a section looking like this:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Keyboard1"
    Driver         "kbd"
    Option         "XkbLayout" "es"    ## KEYBOARD_MAP!
    Option         "XkbModel" "pc105"    ## KEYBOARD_MODEL!
    Option         "Xkbvariant" ""    ## KEYBOARD_VARIANT!

EndSection

Change "XkbLayout" "es" to "XkbLayout" "pt_PT" or "pt_BR" or whatever you need, for a complete list of the options and variants for the pt layout type locale -a | grep pt in a console. Save the file, close all your apps and restart the X server with CTL+ALT+BACK.
