Your system has one of several possible keyboards. Although ipanel
provides you with a default keyboard configuration, you should either
confirm the default or select a different configuration.
The standard keyboard shipped with most Silicon Graphics systems can enter only ASCII characters by default. Configured as shipped, it does not allow Belgian Dutch users to enter or use non-ASCII characters needed for Belgian-Dutch or other European languages.
The Belgian-Dutch location makes it possible to use non-ASCII characters with most system tools. The US ASCII with Compose key keyboard layout is exactly like the default layout for the (101-key) US keyboard, except that the right Alt key (the key immediately to the right of the space bar) behaves as a Compose key, which makes it possible to enter many non-ASCII characters. See the compose(5) and composetable(5) man pages for more information about using the Compose key.
For further assistance with language and cultural customization questions please contact your local Silicon Graphics representative.
