John,<br>Beyond SN and U#, I have found that I need these tags for correct keyboard/localization:<br><br>KV<br>LO<br>KL<br><br>KA only affects the keyboard in OFW (and default if missing is good)<br>P# was important in older hardware.<br>
<br>And if you change any of these tags, you need to re-image the software to actually use the new keyboard/language settings.<br><br>Kim<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 5:00 PM, Sayamindu Dasgupta <<a href="mailto:sayamindu@gmail.com">sayamindu@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">From what I understand the keyboard related tags are directly related<br>
to the locale, so the information which is currently in the K* tags<br>
_might_ be retrieved from the locale tag (we would probably need to<br>
maintain a table in olpc-utils for this).<br>
Thanks,<br>
