Activate Dvorak keymapping in XFree86
Authored by: kirkmc on Mar 09, '04 11:08:03AM

I haven't used X11 for much, other than futzing around in Xterm, but why can I type in Dvorak without having configured the settings as you suggest? Or does Xterm pick up the system layout, and other applications don't?

Activate Dvorak keymapping in XFree86

There are a couple of different X11s floating about. If you use the official Apple X11 (the one living in your Utilities folder), your selected keyboard propagates to X11. I can't remember if that's Panther only, or if recent Jag versions do that do. But with XFree86/XDarwin/other ways to run X11 on the Mac, you have to do the manual hack.
