Title: some question about kernel and cyrilisation.
Post by: nickispeaki on April 23, 2009, 01:46:18 PM

I don't know how it make rightly. (say rightly).

Just little asking

Please, Robert, curaga, any TCL-team!
I try so big time to add ua+ru (any cyrillic lang) support to TCL. I think it may be cutting off cyrilic support from kernel?

Please help! Anybody WHO ARE KNOWING what is true reason about so difficulty cyrilisation of TCL?

Any suggestion, idea is welcome!

Please, DON"T ever to tell me read faq - http://tinycorelinux.com/faq.html#keyboard
I read it about 20 times!
I installed tcl from empty 3 times!
I installed other keyboard switcher xxb, gneur (under progress), ... read about xkb, install frame buffer,...

So, I like tiny core linux, and i want to make it usable to ukrainians, russians and other cyrillic peoples!

Please,  help!

I can confirm that we don't cut off cyrillic in the kernel - in fact that isn't even possible.
The only part with even remote influence is the NLS of file systems, and UTF8 includes all known languages, so cyrillic filenames work too (might require more fonts of course).

I honestly don't know what is the problem, I don't have an ukrainian keyboard available to test.

you don't need to have ukrainian keyboard to test this case! Just change kmap in your linux and voila!
i hope you're typing all fingers, without seing any caption  of letters on your keyboard! ;-)
like me - in 3 langs! by the way i don't have any ua stickers on my acer , but i use ua in windows (vista, 7), linux, macintosh (yes! even in macosX!)...

Yeah, the faq is enough to enable all keys on my keyboard. In fact the faq example is what I use (fi-latin9). No keyboard switcher or anything extra.

However since the Finnish letters åäö are a part of the latin1 fonts, I don't need extra fonts to display them.

the esasyest way is to have xorg installed and set up rules for swithcing keymaps

in puppy linux there's a script that applies those rules to xvesa
but i do not use xvesa as usual
so need to find out
