Keys missing on C3600

[Richard Knapp_1]

Hi
We're having USB Swiss German keyboards hooked up to our C3600, HP-UX 11 workstations. kbdlang is set to: USB_PS2_DIN_Swiss_German2_Euro
In a xterm / dttrem (ksh/tcsh/sh), I cannot access signs like "`", "~", ´ (this weird "A" sign shouldn't be here neither, just the back tick :), but if I use nedit for example, it works just fine. I found some work arounds for some of these signs, but would like to access them where they are on the keyboard.
Thanks for hints!

Its sure that problem is with kdblang file. But not sure about what exactly your keyboard should be set like. Could you try some other options.
Like i was facing problem and i changed it as:

#pwd
/etc
# more kbdlang
USB_PS2_DIN_US_English
#

It worked fine for me.

To point this out: Our keyboard IS a Swiss German one. Setting it to US_English doesn't solve the problem (tried it out).

Hi Richard,

try to set kbdlang to 'USB_PS2_DIN_German'.

Are there special signs that you need Swiss_German2_Euro?

Hi again,

I had a C3750 with HP-UX11i which didn't want the '_Euro'.
Maybe also USB_PS2_DIN_Swiss_German2 or USB_PS2_DIN_Swiss_German works.

Thanks for all your submissions.
I was trying out all these kbdlang settings now, unfortunately no success so far. Basically I don't need special characters (like the Euro symbol). To work on the command line it's just very useful to be able to access the different kinds of quotes and the tilde for example. On a PC with a Swiss German keyboard one has to access them using the key.
I wonder, if there is a table showing all the available valid kbdlang values I could try on my machine?

A bit drastic maybe, but if you remove the /etc/kdblang file, and reboot the workstation, it should come up and ask you tio select the relevant keyboard type.

Hi again,

do you have the same effects with every user (root/non-root)?
Have you yet tested another keyboard?

Found a solution. My first posting was not accurate, I'm sorry! It works, if I use ksh. Realized it as I was working remotely on another server (in ksh).
How can I make tcsh (default shell on our workstations) to support these characters the same way ksh does?
Thank you all for taking the time to respond so quickly! Great thing this ITRC!
