Let's wait until it's in our KOTDs to make it easier for the YaST folks to test things. There is quite a lot to fix. Right now i noticed another thing in the /etc/sysconfig/kbd script that breaks things. The following line: dumpkeys | loadkeys -C "$KBD_TTY" --unicode can never work for anything but latin1. Dumpkeys gets the keymap from the kernel and does not know (the kernel does not know either) which 8-bit encoding it is in. It defaults to latin1 and when the output is piped to loadkeys it loads a completely bogus keymap. Simply put, loadkeys foo; dumpkeys produces a fundamentally different keymap than foo. We may pass the correct codepage to dumpkeys, but now that the kernel is fixed again, this whole line seems totally unnecessary. I'll re-assign this bug to the kbd maintainer when the fixed kernel appears in STABLE. -- 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.
