I think that on an OpenSUSE installation this would be this file:
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard ... (guessing fromt the comments they put in there)
Code: Select all
...
...
## Type: string
## Default: "tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6"
#
# ttys for the above settings
# Example: "tty1 tty2"
# "" for all tty's
#
KBD_TTY="tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6"
#
# Compose tables to be loaded.
# Compose tables are good for producing characters, which can not
# be directly input from your keyboard, such as characters with
# accents, currency signs, ...
# Please read /usr/share/doc/packages/kbd/README.SuSE for an
# explanation.
# You may leave this variable empty (default compose table from kernel
# or KEYTABLE will be used then -- most keyboard maps don't have a
# compose table, though)
# More than one compose table can be given. For a selection of possible
# tables see /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/include/compose.*
# You can give more than one compose table, but only the last one will
# determine the compose combinations.
# The word "clear" has a special meaning:
# Your compose table will be cleared, before more compose symbols are
# added.
# The files compose.winkeys and shiftctrl may be used to map the
# <compose> key to the W*n menu key and Shift-Ctrl, respectively,
# on a PC keyboard.
# A typical setting for Latin1 users (with a PC keyboard) may be
# COMPOSETABLE="clear winkeys shiftctrl latin1.add"
# For latin2, this would be
# COMPOSETABLE="clear winkeys shiftctrl latin2"
# A typical setting for sb. with a character set, where a matching
# compose table is missing (but with a PC keyboard), would be
# COMPOSETABLE="winkeys shiftctrl"
#
COMPOSETABLE="clear winkeys shiftctrl latin1.add"
...
...
The init process for the keyboard
/etc/init.d/kbd then sources this file and activates the settings based on the variables that were defined inside of it.

That's some pretty neat shell coding there IMHO
All in all OpenSUSE has and always had tons and tons of little scripts inside the
/etc/sysconfig directory ... and they all configure some environmental variables which are then used system-wide. As far as I remember Ubuntu and Mint you probably don't have half of the scripts which SUSE places in there, so I wonder how far the behaviour can even be reproduced on an Ubuntu-like system?
Here the directory listing of my
/etc/sysconfig directory:

As I said, these are no e.g. init-scripts, these scripts don't launch anything by themselves. All these scripts inside the sysconfig directory do is to define some environment variables which are then used system-wide (e.g. in every shell ... or by the actual init-scripts).
Obviously this mechanism also has its downside ... as a SUSE user you may have to take care of two init scripts (/etc/init.d + /etc/sysconfig) instead of just one ...
... But I really had to do it. The customer I am doing this for wants his stuff on top of OpenSUSE, and they want everything tweaked and tuned to the max. So I have to do this on my machine here, because it's the one I know best ... I of course did a full system dump .... so when this project is over I will restore my dumps and voila: bye bye Novell, hello again Mint freshness!
