still not in STABLE, but the fixed kernel is already in KOTD (
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/HEAD/ )
Juergen, can you please try to fix the kbd package now?
I am convinced that the "dumpkeys | loadkeys -C "$KBD_TTY" --unicode" line in
the initscript is not necessary at all. If you think we need it, dumpkeys
definitely need the codepage argument, otherwise it cannot work. (see comment
#18)
Also, setfont needs to be called before loadkeys (see comment #17).
Steps to check whether it works:
- set the following in /etc/sysconfig console:
CONSOLE_FONT="lat2-16.psfu"
CONSOLE_SCREENMAP="8859-2"
CONSOLE_ENCODING="UTF-8"
- set KEYTABLE="cz-us-qwertz.map.gz" in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
- reboot (this is important, do not only restart kbd)
- in the console, press the "234567890" keys on a US keyboard. You should see
the following characters: "ěščřžýáíé" (this should be working once you
remove the "dumpkeys | loadkeys")
- press "Shift" + the "= / +" key (next to backspace), followed by the "e" key.
You should get "ě". This should start working once you call loadkeys after
setfont (This is why the reboot is important - the console map stays loaded, so
if you do "rckbd restart" without fixing the order of setfont/loadkeys, it
seems to be working even though it's in fact broken)
