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.
Any hint?
Thanks in advance, Didier.
From my /etc/rc.conf: [...] LOCALE="fr_FR.UTF-8" HARDWARECLOCK="UTC" USEDIRECTISA="no" TIMEZONE="Europe/Paris" #KEYMAP="fr-latin9" KEYMAP="fr-pc" CONSOLEFONT="lat9w-16"
CONSOLEMAP="8859-1_to_uni,8859-15_to_uni,cp1250_to_uni,cp437_to_uni,cp850_to_uni"
Try remove the CONSOLEMAP Like that [...] LOCALE="pt_BR.UTF-8" HARDWARECLOCK="localtime" TIMEZONE="America/Sao_Paulo" KEYMAP="br-abnt2" CONSOLEFONT="lat9w-16" CONSOLEMAP= USECOLOR="yes" [...] Here is working very well.
