I think we need to someone volunteer to work on it. Source cod can be found here. http://packages.debian.org/sid/console-setup And a custom script (maybe right after /etc/grub.d/00_head and named 01_loadkeymap or so ..) is necessary in order to load the compiled *.gbk file in grub2 in order to make the keyboard layout effective. -- 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.

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. -- 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.

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.
