| 227 | generated. A few options are <emphasis>defaults</emphasis> from

| 228 | upstream. If there is a previously installed
|
|---|
| 229 | <filename>/etc/sddm.conf</filename>, it will generate a replica. When
|

| 230 | it is generated during an X session, some session configurations are

| 231 | replicated, e.g. if the cursor from the Adwaita theme is already

| 513 | <para>
|
|---|
| 514 | In the next couple of paragraphs, due to a problem with sddm-greeter,
|
|---|
| 515 | we mention how to define the keyboard used there. Notice that this is
|
|---|
| 516 | also the keyboard that will be used in the X session, unless there is
|
|---|
| 517 | a configuration in the Desktop Environment or in the Window Manager
|
|---|
| 518 | overriding it, afterwards.

|
|---|
| 523 | Keyboard selection: the greeter shows a double question mark or the
|
|---|
| 524 | wrong keyboard. When you start to type the password or user name
|
|---|
| 525 | (depending on the theme, only password), the right keyboard selection
|
|---|
| 526 | magically appears. Optionally, a workaround is to include the keyboard
|
|---|
| 527 | list in <command>/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup</command> script, as the
|
|---|
| 528 | <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
|
|---|
| 529 | </para>
|

| 530 |

|---|
| 535 | E.g. <command>echo 'setxkbmap "fr,gb,br,us"' >>
|
|---|
| 536 | /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup</command>. A very accurate definition
|
|---|
| 537 | of the keyboard(s) is possible, for example: <command>echo 'setxkbmap
|
|---|
| 538 | -model pc105 -layout br,us -variant abnt2,dvorak -keycodes evdev'
|
|---|
| 539 | >> /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup</command>. See man setxkbmap.
