$HX_KEYBOARD
and
$HX_KBD_TYPE
$HX_WM

"
The most important changes are the fvwm
and
fvwm
setups, using the preparation script triggered by
the "-prepare" flag in $HX_WM
.
You can customise this preparation; this is described in the in the documents:
This guesses the keyboard used on the current display using the
program xmodmap
and the keyboard databases of the program
xkeycaps
.
Its output can be eval
'ed by a shell script to
provide the variables $HX_KEYBOARD
and $HX_KBD_TYPE
.
It's in ASIS under /usr/local/bin/guesskbd
.
The type of the keyboard, derived from its name with a table:
`pc', `vt200', `vt300' or `other'
HX_KEYBOARD
The "official" name of the keyboard as known by the X program xkeycaps
,
e.g. `LK201'
Not yet documented because there is not yet a clear distinction between the hep and site level behaviours. Currently, everything is in the hep level...
