Keyboard setting german?

[doncsunny]

Hi,

is there a way to change the soft keyboard (displayed when clicking on the keyboard-symbol) from qwety to qwertz ?

I do NOT mean the setting to change it on the hardware-keyboard (registry entry) which works.

I assume the settings are in the registry as well. Any hints?

i also want to know the answer.
i guess it need some new resource file for the setting?

I'm not sure but i think i know the Prob!

I use an external Keyboard with German Layout, the Softkeyboard works with some registry changes.

The external Keyboard use maybe the Registrykey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD
The important Values are:
"Keyboard SubType"=0
"Keyboard Type"=4

Type 4 is for english, and i don't know the german value, i think it is dangerous to change it to any value, without know how.

Maybe also the prob is the Key:
"DriverName"=keybddr.dll
If it is the problem you must generate a german driver with the SDK!

As i said before, i'am not sure but this are my results and i'am also looking for a solution!

I hope that was a little help!

You could also try Resco Keyboard Pro

I mean Resco Keyboard is a a Softkeyboard,

i have described the problem about german qwertz layout support, for external Hardware Keyboard and that is not the same registry settings like softkeyboard qwertz layout!

The Prob is still the same!

I don't think that the solution for the softkeybord will work on Athena too, but maybe you can find a similar way.
This works for Trinity and Hermes devices, but both have only a QVGA screen.

Looks good, but it don't solve the Problem with an external Keyboard, i mean Hardware USB-Keyboard!

Still qwerty!

I am also very keen to find a solution to this. I am using a Finnish usb:n keyboard and need to have the 'ä' and 'ö' working.
