I installed the latest version of Knoppmyth yesterday. (Auto install)

Everything went fine so far. But:
During installation process i had no option to change to german (e.g. keyboard)
Post installation runs directly in to myth-setup without asking for language and i did not find any option to change it afterwards ?

I use a dvb-t card and normally during the mythtv-setup you will ask to change to console to choose which channels you like from xmltv to be scanned for EPG data. But this was not possible with knoppmyth ?

I searched the forum but did not find any hint. Anyone who had these problems before ?

As SU you could change the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 with vi or nano:

search for section "input device"
Within this section Keyboard0, then change
Option "XkbLayout" "us" -> Option "XkbLayout" "de"

Caution, I'm running version R5A16, maybe the config files for X-server have changed with new versions.
The keyboard should be ok, at least after restarting X
I have to search for language selection and how to change this....

You could run setup/utilities from the main menu of mythfrontend. In one of the following screens you can change the language to 'German'

There is a recent post dealing with german grabbers and EPG data of DVB-S cards:

The answers in that post could help, especially with grabbing problems.

Besides the above mentioned setting in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (for me in Switzerland I changed it to "de_CH") and changing the language to "German" in setup/utilities from the mainmenu of mythfrontend I also did a

to set the keyboard layout I wanted to have in consoles.
