Solaris Internationalization Guide For Developers

Changing Between Keyboards on x86

On x86, a keyboard is selected during the kdmconfig part of install. To change this at any time after installation, use kdmconfig:

  1. Exit CDE/OW to the command line.

  2. Type kdmconfig -u (kdmconfig unconfigure).

  3. Type kdmconfig to run the program.

  4. Follow instructions to get a keyboard layout.

There are no `utilities' for either SPARC or x86 (apart from standard UNIX tools such as xmodmap, pcmapkeys) bundled into Solaris 7 for switching keyboards.
