KMS console problem with non-us (french) keyboard
Hi all,
I am presently using an up-to-date Archlinux on a laptop with an Intel 915 chipset. In the past I have tried KMS succesfully to a certain extent: for example the french letter "é" is not correctly displayed when I type it in console althought it is correctly displayed under X11. Apart from this, all seems to function perfectly. With the same setup in /etc/rc.conf there is no problem to type and display "é" in console if KMS is disabled.
I was thinking this to be a lack of maturity of KMS, but I just tried KMS on a Slackware 13.0 (2.6.29 stock kernel) freshly installed on the same laptop: definitely no problem.
I don't know why accentuated chars don't work with KMS for you, but I have a similar setup at my laptop (which is 2km away now), so I will check if plain-text console is not broken with KMS for me too.
Checked it on my laptop now. Cyrillic chars work fine on tty with KMS enabled. LOCALE="uk_UA.UTF-8" KEYMAP="ua-utf" CONSOLEFONT=cyr-sun16 CONSOLEMAP= -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
