What does a french keyboard look like? Bios screen?

#1 Post by plucky duck » Thu Jul 15, 2004 1:39 am

I see there's a X31 on clearance, but it's a french version. Is the bios loaaded in french? And curious what a french keyboard looks like. Think it would be possible to order an english version of the recovery disks?

It's a lower end 1.3Ghz/1.4Ghz version, but for almost $800Cnd cheaper, might just be worth looking into.

In my expereince with french full size desktop keyboards they are usually Azerty ones... so you got a bit of a change of keys there, and the N M , button is either moved one spot to the right or left (can't remember). Unless you are a very fast touchtypist you should be able to use that kind of keyboard...but you do know that IBM sells the spare keybaords right ? You can change it yourself at least on the X40 series.

You can also download Microsoft Visual Keyboard. It's an awesome application useful for multiple languages. It shows you where the keys are no matter what's printed on the keyboard keys.

Hope it helps.

You can change the BIOS's language to English... there is an option somewhere.
