Hi all international users of tinycore: as well as a lot of you, i need to know how to (if it is possible) to load at startup us international keyboard map because i am italian (i need accents) and because i have a notebook with us layout keyboard.
Is it possible to load different layout as kernel parameter? (e.g. "kmap=us-int" or similar)
Or must i do to load an extension and/or to change any startup scripts?
Thanks!

a) load the kmaps.tcz on boot
b) use a bootcode like mine (put your italian stuff instead of my german setup)  "kmap=qwertz/de-latin1"
AMD K6-IIIATZ 550MHz MB DFI K6xv3/+66
P4 HP DC7100 3GB 3GHz
Samsung NC10 boot from SD card port (via USB reader)
.. all TinyCore proofed

Im a newbie too. Just with a bit more listed posts..!
So, keep asking (no reason to get a red face for it); we will answer.
And in few months you can perhaps become a TCL developper?

For the console:
Code: [Select]
tce-load -i kmaps
loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/dk.kmap

For Xorg, something analgous to this:
Code: [Select]
cat /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "keyboard defaults"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"

    Option "XkbModel" "pc104alt"
    Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
    Option "XKbOptions" ""
EndSection
