Dear All,
I have a problem with Puppy 1.0.1 : the french keyboard layout does not have the letters
No French keymap in Puppy?

not familiar with the French Keyboard layout really, or how get the accents and cedillas in the right place, BUT there are a couple of things that I recall from the last keyboard mapping I looked at.
the computer MUST be rebooted for the changes to take place,
if the AltGR key is used to get special symbols then there's a good chance it won't work within a browser ( for some reason it's disabled in Mozilla etc. )
Are you sure that it's the fr.map that is being called by your system?
( double check this in /.etc/keymap. ) it could feasibly be calling another file instead, so changing the fr.map file won't have any effect anyway
Bon Chance
( if you can - post a pic of the keyboard layout and I'll have a go at the file - see if I have any luck ! )

Dear All,
I have solved the first half of the problem by importing the fr-latin1 keymap from Mandrake. By comparing with the fr.map file used by Puppy, I found many differences.
Whereas some apps (Abiword, mp, Planmaker, Sylpheed, ... ) recognize this keymap, others (rxvt, beaver, ... ) don't.
Is there a simple way to force rxvt to use the right keymap ?
Merci beaucoup.
Romain.

Re: french keyboard
I think that you should replace the pair rxvt / ash by aterm / bash ...Romain wrote:

Sorry, broken english above :-)
Please assure better keymaps are getting inside 1.0.4 Puppy
Hi, german user have similiar problems...
So probably also another/better keyboard file could solve that too...
