(9879) DECwindows and Keyboard Language Selection?

Post by User » Sun Nov 28, 2004 8:26 am

How to setup a LK462 swiss-german QWERTZ keyboard dialect to be used during the DECwindows login (user/password) screen ?

The DECwindows welcome login screen always defaults to US-English keyboard. However, after login to a system/user account, the DECwindows DECterm application uses correctly the QWERTZ keyboard (as per the DECW keyboard setup
for QWERTZ keyboard in the DEC windows Session Manager options).

My LK462 swiss-german QWERTZ keyboard is correctly setup and working in the SRM console environment.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Please contact the VSI support directly, as details on the DECwindows version and configuration will be of interest.

Also see DECW$DEFAULT_KEYBOARD_MAP in DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.*, as this may be what you seek.
