RE: Swissgerman keyboard

[Morger Philipp <PMorger@Axept.ch>]

Hi

Yes, I tried this layout - but it's wrong - that's the reason why I'm
writing (sorry if I  didn't made my self clear) Either I did something wrong
(and I don't think I'm that way stupid) or the layout is wrong... 

It's written in the layout definitions that it's not tested and I guess
there are not so many swiss people who use OpenBSD - and unfotunately
OpenBSD can't read the layout from FreeBSD (or I am at least professional
enough to make it do so - because for FreeBSD is a swisslayout available)

I hoped that there are any swiss people (or non-swiss people who use
swissgerman keyboards ;)

I couldn't find information about the swissgerman layout on the web nor in
the usenet, nor does a newer layout file exist where the layout had been
changed. 

So I guess my options are simple: Rewrite the layout (argh!) or make the
OpenBSD terminal to understand FreeBSD terminal layout files (but as said -
I don't have any idea how this is done) 

Thanks
Philipp

Hi!

Have you tried the 'c1' map (it also is named swissde) ?

I found the information by looking in /usr/share/misc/keycap.pcvt.
This file name was found by reading the information produced by

man kcon

-moj
