Re: Final solution on using AltGr keyboard definitions with HP-UXCDE/Motif/ X11R6 and Linux/ Cygwin


Hello Franz,

It seems the XKB_DISABLE variable is picked up after initializing your CDE environment and after having logged in.

Fortunately we don't use usernames with AltGr characters in it, though I couldn't tell whether passwords of users have AltGr characters in them.....

After a week without reactions on the subject, I unsubscribed myself from the list to prevent overload of my mailbox.

Regards, Hans.

Hi Hans and all the rest,

while this solution works for cde and the applications, I still have no AltGr-functionality in the login-screen.

Any ideas, suggestions?

Greetings

Franz



Using Cygwin with HP-UX CDE:

When you are using CDE on HP-UX you can use the following procedure,
which I found on the Internet. Check the solution at
http://aa11.cjb.net/hpux_admin/2000/12/0212.html that came from the
community:


Create the file /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d/0050.disable_xkb with the following content:


#!/usr/bin/ksh ##################################################################### ### File: 0050.disable_xkb ### ### Purpose: disable the XKEYBOARD extension in all R6 ### client software. ##################################################################### export XKB_DISABLE=1


and give it the 755 protection.


Then put in the .dtprofile of a user the command to change his/her
keyboard layout:


xmodmap /etc/xmodmap.es.hpux


which contains a copy of the enclosed keyboard mapping.
