Hi all,
when I try to use Xnest with setxkbmap to force a Germany keyboard layout, I get the error
Error loading new keyboard description
The complete command I am using is
ssh -X -C -l $USER $HOST -n "Xnest :1 -ac -geometry 1440x850 -once -query localhost & setxkbmap -layout de"
I also tried with "setxkbmap de" in the end, but no difference.
So this might have been the right syntax to set a different keyboard layout, but somehow it did not work - do I understand the error message right? There is no error or hint in the Xorg log file(s).
Any hint or help is appreciated.
Dirk
