Mini USB Keyboard Product 1736 Config Problem

Post by jljen »

Hi,
I'm trying to configure my Mini USB Keyboard Product 1736 on Raspbian that I bought directly from Adafruit. I try to follow the instructions on its product page:
◦Switch to root user.
◦ Run 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' and change from en_GB.UTF-8 to en_US.UTF-8.
◦ Run 'dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration' and change the keyboard to USA PC104

The follow the first step, and the second step works, but the third step doesn't give me the USA PC104 option to select. It shows Generic 104-key PC, but then it shows further choices that I don't know what to choose from.

I'm a newbie. Could some please direct me as a couple of keys are not working correctly? Thanks!

Did you try it with Generic 104-key PC? Which keys don't work?

It works with "Generic 104-key PC", then "English (US)" layout, default AltGr, No compose key.

I had to reboot to see the changes take effect, which is not explained in the notes on the product page.
