--- Comment #60 from Henryk Hecht 2007-10-30 16:58:32 MST ---
Regarding comment #54: ttys 7-20 ended up in /etc/sysconfig/kbd because suse
put them there at some point. Just as with the other reporter who had the
extra ttys, this system has been upgraded many times, so I've no idea at what
point that was. They stay in KBD_TTY because nothing in /etc/init.d/kbd
removes them!
Regarding comments #58-59: KBD_TTY is only set in /etc/init.d/kbd if it is
empty or unset at that point, after sourcing /etc/sysconfig/keyboard. In other
words, it just provides a default. Certainly, in the case that it's tty{1..20}
the conditional is dead code and the filter does nothing. If setfont should
really not be called on ttys > 6, then /etc/init.d/kbd should actually filter
the list based on device name, not just on whether it is a writable character
device.
If I understand the comments above, Mr. Michnovic no longer has any problems
logging in, but only with display of Czech characters; this sounds like a very
different bug from the setfont/kdm login bugs that have been marked as
duplicates of this one...whatever the case, my own setfont problems were
strictly limited to the extra ttys being setfont'd after earlyxdm, and this was
the case for at least some other submitters.
