Problem loading keyboard map
« on: April 24, 2010, 03:59:11 PM »
Hi,

I set keyboard map to spanish and layout is partially well. But if I press "ñ" (n tilde) it outputs "?". That happens with others keys too. That happens with Xvesa, out of X Window, on the CLI, it works perfectly.

Below you can see some config files:

cat .xsession
Code: [Select]
Xvesa -br -screen 1024x768x32 -shadow -mouse /dev/input/mice,5 -nolisten tcp -I >/dev/null 2>&1 &
waitforX
sleep 3 && xmodmap -e "clear Mod4" -e "add Mod5 = Mode_switch" &
"$DESKTOP" 2>/tmp/wm_errors &
export WM_PID=$!
if [ -n "$BACKGROUND" ]; then
  setbackground image /opt/backgrounds/"$BACKGROUND"
else
  [ -x ./.setbackground ] && ./.setbackground
fi
#[ "$ICONS" == "wbar" ] && /usr/bin/wbar.sh
[ -x ./.mouse_config ] && ./.mouse_config &

cat /mnt/sdb1/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
Code: [Select]
DEFAULT tinycore
LABEL tinycore
KERNEL /tce/bzImage
APPEND initrd=/tce/tinycore.gz quiet max_loop=255 tz=ART max_loop=255 waitusb=5 tce=UUID="0289a07b-58a6-4eeb-880a-9dabc9e95e64" kmap=es

I am using TC 2.10 with LXDE and last updates applied.

Please could you help to fix the problem?

Thanks in advance!

In which apps? Sounds like a font issue.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Thanks for help me to narrow the problem.

In fact, it seems that is a problem on lxterminal only (yes I use it a lot ;) ).

Till now I haven't found the issue on others apps...


I've tried other fonts from Edit->Preferences->Style-Terminal Font closing app and reopening it, and no changes... When I press "ñ" it outputs "?" the same happens with others keys for exampla "{"  "\".

But read the more weird thing: When I test the font on "Preview" dialog box of "Pick a Font" spanish keyboard layout works well!!!

So I am really puzzled, below .lxterminal.conf

Code: [Select]
[general]
fontname=Serif 10
selchars=-A-Za-z0-9,./?%&#:_
bgcolor=#000000000000
bgalpha=65535
fgcolor=#aaaaaaaaaaaa
tabpos=top
scrollback=1000
disablef10=false
hidemenubar=false
hidescrollbar=false
cursorblinks=false

Thanks in advance
