Hi, I just bussy with some localization issue and creating now the screenmap file for the locale. What I found in documentation is that these file is needed for some type of video hardware which doesn't support software font, and that the file defines mapping between character codes.
I took a look into screenmap files provided in source tree the us-ascii file looks just like a matrix with everything set to zero exept of printable characters 0x20-0x7e . iso-8859-1 screenmap looks similar but begining from the the matrix address 0xA0 up to the end there are some hex numbers which I couldn't map to something which seems to be meaningful to me. I am not that strong in hardware things so have no clue how does it works. Unfortunately I found no more pointers to information. If the soft fonts are not supported what is mapped to what ? Where the syscons driver gets the information about letter-symbols of that special language in case of non software fonts? Any help is welcome kind regards -- Vahe Khachikyan --- _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
