[SOLVED] Japanese Epson Laptop - keyboard help and Japanese font help
kirin-rex:
Oops, still having problems with the kmap. For some reason, when I reboot, the keyboard is still acting like a US qwerty keyboard. But when I exit to prompt, even if I don't type anything, the JP keyboard works properly. When I "startx" to go back to the desktop, it still works. But if I reboot, it goes back to US QWERTY.
1. So, I went to "run program" and entered kmaps.tcz and clicked the box that said "run with sudo"
2. I then clicked on EXIT and selected EXIT TO PROMPT.
3. Typed the following code:
--- Code: ---sudo loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/qwerty/jp106.kmap
--- End code ---
I tested it to make sure it works by typing: "
I erased " and typed
--- Code: ---startx
--- End code ---
4. I opened bootlocal.sh and typed:
--- Code: ---loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/qwerty/jp106.kmap
--- End code ---
Saved the file.
Rebooted.
Typing SHIFT+2 should (on a jp106 keyboard) give me ", but instead it gives me @ like a US QWERTY.
However, if I click EXIT and EXIT TO PROMPT, I can type " with no problem. If I erase " and type STARTX, I can still type " with no problem. But if I reboot, I get @ for SHIFT+2.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I'm unable to copy-paste directly from the tiny-core laptop because it's telling me this forum's login isn't safe (for some reason), so I wrote it down and will type it here. I'll try to be careful not to make too many mistakes.
--- Code: ---showbootcodes
--- End code ---
gave me
--- Code: ---BOOT_IMAGE=/tce/boot/vmlinuz quiet waitusb=5:UUID="7fb56286-fb74-42a4-8761-c9f348a0e2d1" tce=UUID="7fb56286-fb74-42a4-8761-c9f348a0e2d1" initrd=/tce/boot/core.gz
--- End code ---
--- Code: ---cat /opt/.filetool.lst
--- End code ---
gave me
--- Code: ---opt
home
--- End code ---
--- Code: ---cat /opt/bootlocal.sh
--- End code ---
gave me
--- Code: ---#!/bin/sh
# put other system startup commands here
ifconfig wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/home/tc/wifi.cfg -Dwext -B
udhcpc -i wlan0 -t 10
loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/qwerty/jp106.kmap
--- End code ---
[EDIT]: Fixed typo. Changed loadmap to loadkmap. Rich

Hi kirin-rex
Is kmaps.tcz installed onboot? Is it listed in your tce/onboot.lst file?
kirin-rex:
Yes, I installed "on boot" and it is listed in the onboot.lst
