Thanks for that explanation. However, with a great amount of respect, I am probably a little more confused now.
1. Just to be clear, I got the 30 sec delay with the latest version ie 214X15, which as you say has ttuuxxx's gb.gz in /lib/keymaps.
I confirm I have it working okay with UK and French keyboards. It was when I tested it using UK and BE and CA that it went bad with a delay. I guess there will be other combinations which may have missing files where it goes wrong. My concern is not so much for me (I'm happy with it) but for others who need other keyboards.
2.
Not nit picking but either I don't understand this or do you mean...MHHP's fix for the Advanced Xorg button, replaces the option to either change your default keyboard layout from US to something else or add another to it.
Please don't misunderstand me...I think MHHP's mod is an elegant piece of work and a very useful fetaure. It's just that with the current state of the keyboard files there is the possibility of a boot delay, which new-comers may not understand/appreciate.MHHP's fix for the Advanced Xorg button, gives the option to either change your default keyboard layout from US to something else or add another to it
Best regards and cheers
