| 450 | <para>
|
---|
| 451 | In the next couple of paragraphs, due to a problem with sddm-greeter,
|
---|
| 452 | we mention how to define the keyboard used there. Notice that this is
|
---|
| 453 | also the keyboard that will be used in the X session, unless there is
|
---|
| 454 | a configuration in the Desktop Environment or in the Window Manager
|
---|
| 455 | overriding it, afterwards.

[395be1c] | 459 | <para>

| 460 | Keyboard selection: the greeter shows a double question mark or the
|
---|
| 461 | wrong keyboard. When you start to type the password or user name
|
---|
[a65d410] | 462 | (depending on the theme, only password), the right keyboard selection
|
---|
| 463 | magically appears. Optionally, a workaround is to include the keyboard
|
---|
| 464 | list in <command>/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup</command> script, as the
|
---|
[395be1c] | 465 | <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:

---|
[d09eb9b] | 473 | /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup</command>. A very accurate definition
|
---|
| 474 | of the keyboard(s) is possible, for example: <command>echo 'setxkbmap
|
---|
| 475 | -model pc105 -layout br,us -variant abnt2,dvorak -keycodes evdev'
