Dear all!
I consider buying new keyboard and found happy hacker lite 2
model suiting fine. Is there someone on the list with expe-
rience using it? I'm aware I should change rc.conf to meet it's
65 key layout. Also, how xorg.conf has to look like in this
situation?
Best regards
Zoran

The typing feel is a lot better compared to the Logitech keyboard I had before. The only problem I have with mine is that it's not usable with the boot loader menu. It seems to be hardware related as it works fine with other computers (using different chipsets).> I'm aware I should change rc.conf to meet it's > 65 key layout.

My xorg.conf contains the following entries in the "InputDevice" section: Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc101" Option "XkbLayout" "us" I say it should work right out of the box ;-) In addition, I did configure a .xmodmaprc to get umlauts, etc. HTH, Philipp

My old keyboard has numpad part. Since hh lite 2 has it not, I simply ask for behaveor of kb with options I set. I turn off numpad support in bios first. It removes numpad and let me jump from one part of the big screen in fvwm2 to the other one. If I turn numpad on, I cannot do that. Since I never used usb keyboard, cannot comment on the other concern, hh lite 2 and booting process. Best regards all Zoran
