|

| 501 | In the next couple of paragraphs, due to a problem with sddm-greeter,
|
|---|
| 502 | we mention how to define the keyboard used there. Notice that this is
|
|---|
| 503 | also the keyboard that will be used in the X session, unless there is
|
|---|
| 504 | a configuration in the Desktop Environment or in the Window Manager
|
|---|
| 505 | overriding it, afterwards.

| 510 | Keyboard selection: the greeter shows a double question mark or the
|
|---|
| 511 | wrong keyboard. When you start to type the password or user name
|
|---|
| 512 | (depending on the theme, only password), the right keyboard selection
|
|---|
| 513 | magically appears. Optionally, a workaround is to include the keyboard
|
|---|
| 514 | list in <command>/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup</command> script, as the
|
|---|
| 515 | <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:

| 522 | E.g. <command>echo 'setxkbmap "fr,gb,br,us"' >>
|
|---|
| 523 | /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup</command>. A very accurate definition
|
|---|
| 524 | of the keyboard(s) is possible, for example: <command>echo 'setxkbmap
|
|---|
| 525 | -model pc105 -layout br,us -variant abnt2,dvorak -keycodes evdev'
|

| 526 | >> /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup</command>. See man setxkbmap.
