Noppoo Choc Mini ubuntu keymapping

[reyman]

Hi, i buy recently a Noppoo Choc Mini; i have no problem on windows,
but i'm using ubuntu principally for my work, and i don't know how to map the specific 84 keyboard with usa ansi layout.
I need to use xmodmap ? If this is the case, anybody have some template to help me ?
Thansk a lot;

What is your problem? Do some keys not work?

[reyman]

I cannot choose between 84 keyboard and normal default layout in ubuntu keyboard parameters ...
So a lot of key doesn't work, normal, because layout differs.

Worth to take a look at this link. Good luck!

Hm...I don't have one but it seems that if you just use the normal layout it should work. Which layout are you using now and what exactly are the problems?

[reyman]

I cannot choose localization and organization of key .. At best choice, it's a standard USA layout with numerical keyboard like this : http://minus.com/l0QyMCdyrkoip

No other choice, and no 84-key ANSI layout exists in ubuntu database, this is the problem :-/

Run

xev | grep keycode &

Then type the keys which don't work.

Go to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ and make acopy of 'us'

You find the ceycode names in /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev .

Then edit /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us to whatever you need (by adding keycode to keysym mappings).

run
setxkbmap us
so the new settings take effect.

Thanks for reply @7bit,

Finally, with your answer i better understand my error/problem.

When i change my layout with sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration i can choose if i want to use a ISO or ANSI layout, and after, i can choose between french or usa.

My problem is not simple, i have a french ISO layout keyboard integrated with my dell laptop, and i want to use the noppoo with usb. It seems i cannot obtain the ISO and ANSI layout at the same time in ubuntu.

So when i change to switch usa or french layout, the physical position for key is the same (ISO or ANSI) :/

I cross-post my problem on askubuntu :
