Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux Background - I have installed OpenSUSE 11.4 (64 bit) with both Gnome and KDE 4.6.00 Desktop. I have to create/edit documents in Hindi/Marathi and require a keyboard in Hindi (Devnagri) script for the purpose. The keyboard menu at the login, does not show option for Indian languages i.e. Hindi, Marathi. I tried the command with Gnome running, under YaST2 - Contol Center - Hardware Group - "System Key Board Layout. The keyboards are not available there also. Problem in KDE - I log into KDE and check under System Settings - Input Devices - Keyboard. I am able to select Hindi keyboards Hindi Wx and Hindi Bolnagri. However, the problem in these keyboards is that all the Hindi vowels except "आ" are missing. Also the onscreen keyboard does not display the Hindi alphabets which makes the entry of hindi text tedious. I filed a bug report in openSUSE and was advised that the problem in respect of KDE should be projected to you. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Select either of the two hindi keyboard options with the onscreen keyboard running. The onscreen keyboard continues to display standard English characters. type out all the keystrokes in a text editor. The vowels are missing. Actual Results: The onscreen keyboard continues to display standard English characters. The vowels are missing. Expected Results: Onscreen keyboard should display characters from the selected language i.e. hindi characters. All the characters should be available. The complete Hindi and Marathi alphabet i.e. characters and "matras" may be examined in Shivaji fonts.
Can you make a screenshot of that on-screen keyboard? As far as I know, openSUSE uses the "xvkbd" application, and not a KDE application for the login keyboard.

Created attachment 136552 [details] attachment-20379-0.html I received following request : ---------------------------------------------- Marguerite Su <i@marguerite.su> has asked Prakash Chitnis <prakashchitnis@gmail.com> for needinfo: Bug 1172415: The eekboard layout does not have the eleventh consonant "ट" in Inscript Hindi. http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1172415 --- Comment #3 from Marguerite Su <i@marguerite.su> --- Hi, If ठ was placed wrong, then which key it should bind to? can you please give me a correct keyboard binding list of hindi for me to check against? M17N team are 100% CJK maintainers for now. So for hindi it is really hard for us to judge if a thing is right or wrong... -------------------------------------------------------- Replied as follows : -------------------------------------------------------------- I am no expert in these matters. I suppose that whoever prepared the eekboard files for Hindi and Marathi missed this particular key. What I did to solve the problem was to compare the keyboards of "Inscript" and those in Eekboard and found the required corrections as under: "</key> <key keycode="48" name="AC11"> <keysym keyval="39">quoteright</keysym> <text category="letter">ठ</text>" I am attaching the files as corrected by me. That solved my problem. Other Indic languages I will not be able to offer any comment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Problem still exists with Leap 15.2 files.
