Dear all, I need to return to the annoying matter of non-en_US keymaps for use in virtual keyboards. As a typical case is a desire to be able to use scandinavian vowels in a virtual consoles, which are present on the keyboard, and are in fact the the only keys not working properly. Remember that this is no problem in X-terminals.
On FreeBSD the matter is elementary: ## /etc/rc.conf keymap="swedish.iso.kbd" In summary, I can arrange this with equal, or less difficult, mechanisms with DragonFly, FreeBSD, GNU/Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenIndiana, and Solaris 11. On GNU/kFreeBSD hower, all efforts fail, even rendering many localized system messages into ridicule. The init script "kbdcontrol" modifies the backspace, but it seems inapt to set a non-american keyboard to proper use. Is there some description of another already existing mechanism that needs to be brought into light, or is "setconsole" broken on GNU/kFreeBSD? Rather, I suspect the screen fonts to be incomplete. But they are complete in FreeBSD, so why not also in GNU/kFreeBSD. Best regards, Mats E Andersson, DM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
