The kernel patch got accepted upstream, it will appear in the kernel cvs's HEAD
with 2.6.26-rc7. 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.
