Hello there
My xo information is as below
Build 656
Firmware q2d07
Serial number SHF7250059A
I update my xo(B4-1) to build 656. Now I can’t write in Amharic using
AbyssincaSIL. I download(using Firefox) some Amharic text from the net
with my non-xo laptop, saved it in USB and perfectly read it in my
xo(using the browse activity). So, the fonts are at least there.
When I select AbyssinicaSIL from the font type in the write activity
(whether I hit the multiplication/division key just below the enter key or
not), not a single character gets to be displayed (not even the English
letter). The cursor remains in the same position as before.
Tried to change the keyboard setting with
setxkbmap -model olpc 'us(olpc2),et'
But when I type
'cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard', I still get
KEYTABLE="us"
XKB_MODEL="olpc"
XKB_LAYOUT="us" (this is not supposed to be changed?)
XKB_VARIANT="" (not XKB_VARIANT="olpc" as suggested in the wiki).
If there is any thing left out, I am happy to provide more info.
Thank you,
