Hello!
I use XBMC on a USB Stick on DELL optiplex and it works fine.
But i have one Problem. I'm german but the keyboard is QWERTY and the 'german umlaute' äöü lost. How can i change this to a QWERTZ?

In syslinux.cfg i have copy from ubuntu:

locale=de_DE bootkbd=de console-setup/layoutcode=de console-setup/variantcode=nodeadkeys initrd=/casper/initrd.gz

but nothing effect.

Please help me...

Do you have äöü on the surface?

Grusz!

No! But thats not my problem. I can't write 'äöü' on my keyboard. The English-Surface at the Display is not essential. It's only a 'nice gimmick'. When i can adjust the keyboard to german - than i'm lucky...

maybe its easier to reinstall the the system with xubuntu + xbmc,
than getting full german language support!?!

You can change the keyboard settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Although a configuration for this at install would be better, please make a ticket for it and we`ll look into it until XBMC Live 9.04
