| 497 | <para>
|
---|
| 498 | In the next couple of paragraphs, due to a problem with sddm-greeter,
|
---|
| 499 | we mention how to define the keyboard used there. Notice that this is
|

| 500 | also the keyboard that will be used in the X session, unless there is
|
---|
| 501 | a configuration in the Desktop Environment or in the Window Manager
|

| 502 | overriding it, afterwards.

[395be1c] | 506 | <para>
|

| 507 | Keyboard selection: the greeter shows a double question mark or the
|
---|
| 508 | wrong keyboard. When you start to type the password or user name
|
---|
[a65d410] | 509 | (depending on the theme, only password), the right keyboard selection
|
---|
| 510 | magically appears. Optionally, a workaround is to include the keyboard
|
---|
| 511 | list in <command>/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup</command> script, as the
|
---|
[395be1c] | 512 | <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:

[d09eb9b] | 520 | /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup</command>. A very accurate definition
|
---|
| 521 | of the keyboard(s) is possible, for example: <command>echo 'setxkbmap

| 522 | -model pc105 -layout br,us -variant abnt2,dvorak -keycodes evdev'
