Description Marcin Juszkiewicz (reporter) 2008-02-06 15:35:49 UTC

OS2007.50.2 on N810

According to my knowledge and informations from xkblayouts Garage project there
is no way to add new hardware keyboard layout. The only way now is change one
of predefined ones into own one.

This should be changed.

Just to clarify it a bit: I think that the reporter of the bug means that there
is no way for the end user to add a new layout for the internal HW keyboard so
that it will show up in the control panel applet. Marcin, please correct me if
I misunderstood.

Comment 2 Marcin Juszkiewicz (reporter) 2008-02-07 15:07:19 UTC

Marcell: exactly. Control panel list is not expandable according to what I was
told.

Comment 3 Marcin Juszkiewicz (reporter) 2008-05-13 23:18:28 UTC

Please have a look at ukeyboard package - it allows to add extra keymaps but it
is 3rd party when such thing should be part of system.

Not high priority as we have a workaround, but indeed nice to have.

I'd like to know if this is still valid for Fremantle (once the final SDK  /
version is out). Can you please answer this?
Thanks!

Where I can find Fremantle images for N810 or BeagleBoard? Or qemu/virtualbox
image.

Fremantle will not be available for N8x0 hardware.
For your interest the Mer project aims to provide a community backport of
Fremantle for N8x0 devices. See http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer for more information.

But does it contain this application? Otherwise I will be not able to check was
bug resolved (unless you have spare N900 :D)

No idea - That's entirely up to the Mer project...

Comment 10 Urho Konttori 2009-11-07 17:09:51 UTC

ukeyboard in extras-testing / devel is a good example on how to extend both
virtual kb and physical kb layouts. Marking as fixed.

True. :-)
