Keyboard problem
Hi to everyone I am new at Solaris world so I need little help.
I can not put my keyboard to Croatian layout.
I tried to edit /etc/default/init and in that file I changed LC_ALL=hr_HR. Also I tried to change my language settings over GUI (input methods and SCIIM) but with no results.
Also tried to change keyboard layout with following commands
setenv LC_ALL hr_HR
but when I restart my PC all changes are restored to default C:POSIX

So my question is : how to change keyboard layout and to apply new configuration that will work
in the future.

P.S I used google but with no successSmilie

The keyboard layout isn't related to the locale.

You can switch to a Croatian layout with these commands to be run in single user mode:
Code:
# kbd -s
...
Select Croatian which should be choice #5
...
# loadkeys

Alternatively, you can run the command
Code:
eeprom keyboard-layout=Croatian

and reboot.

Ok that worked fine, but I do not have special signs that usually I get in combination
alt Gr + others letters
(\|€@{}^¤ßł×÷) I am writing it from Ubuntu where my keys works fine

What return these commands for you on both Solaris and Ubuntu:
Code:
xmodmap
xmodmap -pk | grep "(at)"

?

You need to have /usr/openwin/bin in your PATH under Solaris.

What Solaris release are you using (cat /etc/release).

hi

for my ubuntu it retuns
for xmodmap
Code:
xmodmap:  up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x69)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4        Super_L (0xce),  Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5        ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c),  Mode_switch (0xcb)

and for the second command
Code:
 55         0x0076 (v)      0x0056 (V)      0x0076 (v)      0x0056 (V)     0x0040 (at)      0x0060 (grave)

Now I will boot into my Solaris and I will post what do I have under my PATH .

-----Post Update-----

Ok I am now in solaris

for cat /etc/release

Code:
Solaris Express Community Edition snv_113 X86

                        Use is subject to license terms.
                             Assembled 20 April 2009

for xomdmap

Code:
xmodmap:  up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x6d)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Meta_L (0x9c)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3        Mode_switch (0x5d)
mod4        Meta_L (0x73),  Meta_R (0x74),  Super_L (0x7f),  Hyper_L (0x80)
mod5        Mode_switch (0x5d),  ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)

and the last command

Code:
55        0x0076 (v)    0x0056 (V)    0x0076 (v)    0x0056 (V)    0x0040 (at)    0x0060 (grave)    0x0040 (at)    0x0060 (grave)

and for the path I have /usr/openwin/bin

Hmm, this looks odd for both Ubuntu and Solaris. I don't understand why you have the symbols repeated, unless the Croatian keyboard has more than two modifiers in use. Shift and AltGr are the one I'm familiar with.

Anyway, assuming you normally get "@" by typing AtlGr+v, you can try to see if this workaround works:

Code:
xmodmap -e "keycode 55 = v V at grave"
