wheelmouse-driver/foreign keyboard-layout

so i installed the wheelmouse driver which works very fine with my microsoft intelli-eye mouse…

a problem with this new devi-hirun is that i have a german keyboard layout and everytime i restart photon, the keyboard is set back to US-layout, rather annoying.

what can i do to fix this?

thanks for helping,

I have same mouse and it seems to work fine too, but there is one
strange thing: wheel works both ways (up/down) in helpviewer, but only
one way (down) in Voyager. Weird.

Seems like the ‘localization’ applet saves changes in appropriate config
files, but nobody cares to read and apply those changes on boot up. Same
problem with timezone for example.

in voyager it’s going both ways on my system, but in the filemanager it’s only going page down. …hm

so it’s again up to the skilled or unskilled (like me) individuals

Does the PageUp key work in Voyager for you? It works both up and down
in voyager here.

Does this still happen if you select something other than german, exit
photon, restart and then re-select German?

Perhaps `nobody cares’ is a bad choice of words Igor. We care.

in voyager PgUp works sometimes, not all the time… in vmail it works perfectly, though.
in abiword i noticed the same: it only goes down - no PgUp at any time.

i noticed that this resetting does NOT happen if you boot up the qnx normally, with the GUI.

i booted up all the time using [exit to text mode] straight at the login window, so i can reset to textmode with [ctl+alt+shift+bksp] - and everytime i exit photon, the kbd-layout is reset to US, not when i logout to the graphical window.

i hope this helps,
thanks

layout) keyboard :slight_smile:
