[Solved] French canadian keyboard layout and tap to pad.

For begin hello to all, I'm new on the forum :-)

I have 2 questions, I try to found on the forum without success:

- I use the XFCE 4.6.2 with a Debian 6.0.1a. When I go in the settings menu and clic on keyboard, I have a tool for configure my keyboard. Just the problem in the layout section I not have my keyboard, is the "french canadian" (CF or fr_CA). The french legacy or multilingual are not the good and I not want this. I not have a xorg.conf file for add manually my keyboard. How I'm able to add manually?

- In the mouse configuration for my touchpad on a Asus EeePC 1005pe, I not found the option for activate the tap to pad.

Tank you.

Re: [Solved] French canadian keyboard layout and tap to pad.

For the tap to pad I found the solution:

Edit the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf

Add this line:

Option "TapButton1" "1"

My file after the modifcation:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        Option "TapButton1" "1"
EndSection

Now need solve the problem for my keyboard layout in canadian french. With Gnome on Debian no problem and on many other distribution. I not understand why this layout is not include?

Tanks

Re: [Solved] French canadian keyboard layout and tap to pad.

I solved my keyboard layout problem.

I edited this file:
/home/YourName/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/keyboard-layout.xml

This is my file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<channel name="keyboard-layout" version="1.0">
  <property name="Default" type="empty">
    <property name="XkbDisable" type="bool" value="false"/>
    <property name="XkbLayout" type="string" value="ca"/>
    <property name="XkbVariant" type="string" value="fr"/>
    <property name="XkbModel" type="string" value="asus_laptop"/>
  </property>
</channel>

I not understand why this layout is not in the tool for configure the keyboard.
