Hi,
I installed OO on my Mac OS X with a german keyboard (so I have a german system). But when I start OO the keyboard automatically switches to us-american (the keyboard settings changed).
Any hints how to avoid this?

Thanks in advance,
Roman

The actual keyboard settings are chosen by the X server. OOo actually doesn't have any way of changing the keyboard layout by its own.

If you're using Apple X11, make sure the keyboard menu (one with the flag) is set to German when you launch X11 by itself. Apple X11 takes its keyboard layout from the system keyboard layout.

If you're using XFree86/XDarwin/OroborOSX, look in the Preferences of the X server. There's a location in which you need to point the X server to the keyboard mapping file. It very well may default to USA.keymapping and you'll have to manually flip it to German. For XDarwin, look straight at its Preferences entry. For OrorborOSX I believe the mapping is in the "XDarwin Preferences..." menu item...it's not actually directly within the OroborOSX specific preferences dialog.
