Hi, I know this is a cup of tea which got a bit cool over time but:
I can't get cursor routing to work on my machine :
SuSE 9.1 PRO SBL 2.2-23 (FTP.ed from the 9.2 repository) kernel 2.6.5-7-145-default (updated by suse).
Okay, I know you've got to deactivate UTF-8... So I tried changing the settings in /etc/sysconfig/language and /etc/sysconfig/keyboard accordingly and then run /sbin/SuSEconfig... However no matter what I do something overwrites my lc-variables. If any one knows the problem and has solved it I would be really thankful. Attached are my /etc/sysconfig files and the ouptut of locale run by root.

Not necesarely. Try it the following way:
1. Open the file /etc/sysconfig/language 2. Modify the value for RC_LC_CTYPE:
RC_LC_CTYPE="de_DE@euro"
Or anny other setting that fits your needs... 3. Modify the value for RC_LANG:
RC_LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
Or any other setting, that fits your needs...
After this modifikations, execute SuSEconfig and restart the keyboard settings:
rckbd restart
If this doesn't solv your problems, I can sent you a newer sbl version that hasn't the problems.
Hi, thanks for your reply. My /etc/sysconfig/language file already contains the said values. So there wasn't any change. As an attachement I send you the output of SuSEconfig. You already have my language file in the mailing list I guess. I noticed that I don't have a script rckbd in /etc/rc.d/ should there be one. # which rckbd returns /sbin/rckbd. That's strange isn't it? Thanks Jeronimo Sarioglou http://www.jsdo.de ____________________ | Langestrasse 83 | | D 44137 Dortmund | | +49 231 1347 583 | ____________________

Allthough it contains some warnings it looks OK. I can't found any entries that relate to your problem.

I'm not an expert for this questions but I think so.
# which rckbd returns /sbin/rckbd. That's strange isn't it?
Yes, it is. What are the results, if you try to execute this script? Is the cursor routing working?
Hi Christian, hi all! well, if I execute /sbin/rckbd it does the following not enabling cursor routing: # rckbd see attachement. # file /sbin/rckbd returns symbolic link to /etc/rc.d/kbd which is bourne shell script text
So I found the shell script. Executing it returns: Loading keymap qwerty/us.map.gz [1A..doneLoading compose table winkeys shiftctrl latin1.add..done Start Unicode mode [1A..doneLoading console font lat9w-16.psfu -u none -m none (K [1A..done
Nothing particulary special. :( Same as the /sbin/rckbd command. I really run out of ideas. :(

Strange. As I've allready said before, I'm not an expert for this language and characterset things. But somehow it looks that yor system is broken. Thats really strange, I have never senn such things before :-8.

I also have no more ideas. The last thing you could try is a newer sbl version that works with utf8. I could send it to you via PM. Is that OK? Have you compiled sbl by hand before (I could help you doing the right steps, its not difficult).
Hi Christian, You say my system is broken? Hm, never saw any other problems. However, I remember having had an issue with my /etc directory but I had a backup copy. Perhaps some thing went wrong there.
Well, a newer sbl (is there one newer than the one on 9.2?) would perhaps help. But I would be more interested in getting my system tidy and fixed up if it is broken.
But if it is no issue just e-mail me the source of sbl. I always wanted to build sbl myself since I wanted to make it sutable for a boot diskette or something. Linking it statically and perhaps changing things so that it could be preconfigured would be very helpful for others too who attempt to set up a linux system using braille. Perhaps one could put it all on an initrd.

I said, that it looks for me, that your system is broken somehow. But I also said, that I dont't know everything about linux. Some messages that are produced by your SuSEconfig look strange to me, but only to me and that menas nothing ;-).
Well, a newer sbl (is there one newer than the one on 9.2?) would perhaps help.
The newes sbl that I'm aware off, is 2.3b. I'll send you the sources via PM.

I fully agree. I also tried linking sbl staticly but without success. Please letz me know, if you have more luck ;-).
