Thanks Aleksej,
you weren't long about getting back to me. Aye, Ireland, Irish Speaking part. Do most of my typing in that language. With Ubuntu there is a setting for an Irish language suitable keyboard. With Windows the default one works using ctrl AltGr + vowel for the accents, which are all that are needed to type in Irish.
Slitaz has ga_IE listed but doesn't seem to work. Tried the one for Scottish Gaeilic and it didn't work either. I'd like to be able to type in Irish on Slitaz but the bigger problem is the keyboard mixups as described in my post. Thanks for the commands. Here are the results:
cat /etc/slitaz-release
4.0
cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG=ga_IE
LC_ALL=ga_IE
cat /proc/cmdline
root=dev/Hda2 quiet
Section "Input class"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "br"
Endsection
Be grateful for any help.
le meas
