See /usr/share/console/ps2-to-riscpc for an example of how console-tools copes with this. At present, an X server with XKB enabled will see a keymap that is so hopelessly jumbled as to be unusable. Starting the server with "-xkb" yields a configuration that works for the most part, though combinations like Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and Ctrl-Alt-F1 don't appear to do anything very useful which isn't completely satisfactory either. I suppose the right thing to do is to ship an appropriate XKB keymap for these machines, though I don't have a clue how one goes about generating such a thing. --------------------------------------- Received: (at 141392-done) by bugs.debian.org; 16 Apr 2004 22:20:26 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Apr 16 15:20:26 2004 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from smtp-105-friday.noc.nerim.net (mallaury.noc.nerim.net) [62.4.17.105] by spohr.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1BEbhC-0007Je-00; Fri, 16 Apr 2004 15:20:26 -0700 Received: from localhost.localdomain (sinibar.net1.nerim.net [62.4.18.43]) by mallaury.noc.nerim.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id E082C62DA1 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sat, 17 Apr 2004 00:20:22 +0200 (CEST) Received: by localhost.localdomain (Postfix, from userid 1000) id B1E6F23F65; Sat, 17 Apr 2004 00:23:00 +0200 (CEST) Date: Sat, 17 Apr 2004 00:23:00 +0200 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Bug #141392 fixed: xlibs: [xkb] keycodes file for RiscPC keyboards Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.5.1+cvs20040105i From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Denis Barbier) Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on spohr.debian.org X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-2.0 required=4.0 tests=BAYES_00 autolearn=no version=2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 X-Spam-Level: X-CrossAssassin-Score: 1 Hi, your keycodes/riscpc file was included as debian/patches/300_riscpc_xkb_keycodes.diff and aready shipped by xlibs Debian package, so I am closing this bug.
