Very long time ago, several UCW sages congregated on the ultimate Czech programmer layout – they ended up with a US keyboard just like usual, except that capslock doesn’t lock case (good in itself!) but acts as a second shift, adding diacritic mark on the letter. So caps+s produces \u00c5\u00a1, caps+e produces \u00c3\u00a9 and caps+w produces \u00c4\u203a. I have been using that ever since, but when moving to another system, setting this up always was a bit of a challenge.<\/p>\n
But currently, the X11 Czech ucw layout is easy to set up on squeeze\/sid (I’m currently using squeeze with xorg from sid – works fine). Xorg keyboard configuration is HAL-driven on sid currently, what you need to do is put this to \/etc\/default\/console-setup:<\/p>\n

Not my problem, but some other users might want that.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
