Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro laptop Si1520 + V3405
Summary Amilo pro Si1520 & V3405 Similar spec but different multi function keyboards to keep space/size down.
Live CD LL 2.0 32bit Default keyboard layout English US.
On both of the keyboards numbers letters and symbols are intermixed making testing of wifi ( password login) nigh impossible without detailed testing of what key does what via libre write.
Doing the menu-settings> keyboard >layout> Unclick defaults and set model ( Fujitsu siemens amilo)>Layout (English UK). Does not solve problems
Menu>settings>Language Support ( English UK, English makes no difference as package can't connect to the internet
Is there a way that this can be got round simply- as Live CD are the first “proving Ground” for a first tentative look at LL.
For the the Full install on the Amilo Si1520, following the above procedures did improve things but left with English US keyboard and its key differences..
HOWEVER if then menu>settings>keyboard input methods >advanced and tick Keyboard Layout to ”use system keyboard layout “ and then restart. Keyboard appears to adopt UK English layout although icon ( bottom RHS screen) still states English US.
Have not tried this full install on the Amilo Pro 3405 as need it for backup and its keyboard layout is slightly different from the Si1520
Keyboard test. Lower case then upper case
