Hi,

Congratulation to the developers for this wonderful distribution.

I came up with an installation problem with PC BSD 1.4.1 :
I select the country : France but once I arrive on the screen that asks for the passwords and the user names, the keyboard is still an US keyboard.

It worked fine with PC BSD 1.4

Any one have had this concern ?

is it fixed with 1.4.1 ? if yes where can I download these CDs ?

Thanks.

Same problem with PCBSD 1.5 : the french keyboard is not recognized.
In addition when I try to switch from 1.4 to 1.5 with the PBI patch the french keyboard is no more recognized.

I isues a bug report for 1.4.1

This bug is already logged: http://trac.pcbsd.org/ticket/108 :wink:

You need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (as root), and where it says

Option "XkbLayout" "us"

change the us to fr (I belive).

(Note that if you run the xorg configurator again (option #6 from the boot menun), it will reset the keyboard to us and you'll need to re-edit the file :roll: )
