loadkmap don t work on TinyCore 4.x ?
« on: October 28, 2011, 06:53:05 AM »
Hello,

i try to load a fr kmap on Tiny Core whithout success on 4.0 and 4.1-RC1

kmaps,tcz package is installed and copied into tce folder too

this line is not working in terminal
sudo loadkmap </usr/share/kmap/azerty/fr-latin1.kmap

this line is not working in the bootlocal.sh
loadkmap </usr/share/kmap/azerty/fr-latin1.kmap

and at boot : kmap=fr or kmap=azerty/fr-latin1  have no effect

Is there a problem with kmaps module?
How to debug the proble; and understand what happen when try to load a keyboard map ?

thanks for your help..

After some search keyboard is changed by the following command in prompt (Ctrl+Alt+F1) (back to X with Ctrl+Alt+F2)
sudo loadkmap </usr/share/kmap/azerty/fr-latin1.kmap

but change is not affect the X session

How to change keyboard layout in X ? Is it with loadkmap too?

No, you must change console keymaps outside of X.

how?
we have currently an issue with a french keyboard and a boot code kmap=azerty/fr-latin1 dont work.
I made it working inside xorg: but we try to install corelinux on an old piece and vesa is the target.
So, how to implement an automatic setup for using a french keyboard with vesa?

Exit to prompt (either from the exit gui, or by ctrl-alt-backspace), type the command "sudo loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/azerty/fr-latin1.kmap".

Do you have kmaps.tcz set to onboot? That file works for me giving an azerty layout.

"Xavier" informed it works.
putting that command "sudo loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/azerty/fr-latin1.kmap"
in bootlocal.sh will activate the azerty with Xvesa activated (not in terminal only) ?

Yes. It does the same as what the bootcode would do.

You do not need sudo in bootlocal.sh.  It already runs as root.
