I looked at possibility to support native console keymaps in grub-mklayout, but it expects pure numeric character codes (with few exceptions) and I could not find any easy way to generate them.
As for ckbcomp - I tested it and it actually works just fine as is. The only needed adjustment is support for different name/format of consoletrans tables.
What is better - package ckbcomp as part of grub2 or separately? I do not really care either way :)
I do not think we need full console-setup, just ckbcomp which is pretty much self-contained.
Sorry for late responding you. If we can avoid the cost of a new package to support the changing keymap feature that's even better to me, so I would vote for your suggestion. Will you do that? I can do that if you dont have time. :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
