I use Slackware 12.2 since recently and all is working well. The installation was done with English as default language but with a German keyboard. After booting and logging in as root or as a user the keymap is correct for the German keyboard, However, if logging into a non-KDE window manager the system appears to... 13 Feb 2010 16:01
