Yocto Zeus Keymap (azerty French keyboard)

jishin42 — Tue, 20 Oct 2020 16:33:57 GMT

Hello,

When plugging an USB keyboard to the imx8QM evalkit (thanks to a USB type C hub), it works fine in the Wayland terminals, except that I can't change the keymap to have a French layout.

I tried the following commands inside a Wayland terminal, and also through ssh :

1) loadkeys fr

2) loadkeys fr latin9

3) gunzip -d /usr/share/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr-latin9.map.gz

loadkeys -b fr-latin9.map > fr-latin9.map.bin

loadkmap < fr-latin9.map.bin

None of them changed the Wayland terminal behavior...

Please try the command like "export XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=fr-latin9".

It does not work, but I found the solution.

Based on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Weston#Configuration,

edit the file /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini to add :

[keyboard]
keymap_rules=evdev
keymap_layout=fr,fr

#keymap_variant=colemak,
#keymap_options=grp:shifts_toggle
#keymap_options=caps:ctrl_modifier,shift:both_capslock_cancel
#repeat-rate=30
#repeat-delay=300
#numlock-on=true
