Title: Loading kmap
Post by: meo on June 05, 2009, 02:26:07 PM

Hi!

I would like to know how to load the sv-latin1.kmap in microcore after x has started. I have to make it that way because my setup is a bit special. Sudo loadkmap < /usr/share/kmaps/sv-latin1 does not work. So if someone has an idea it would be most appreciated.

Have fun,
meo

Usually, loadmap can be placed in bootlocal.sh.  What's different about your setup that does not allow this to work?

Hi "hats"!

The problem is that it will not start properly if I try the normal way. I have to go kind of backwards and start with the bootcodes norestore xsetup to get it to start. After that I restore the backup. That is why it doesn't work having the command in the bootlocal.sh since that has to be executed before starting X. I have a "hacked" 12-boot system and so far that is the only way I have made microcore boot properly. I'm booting all the operating systems from the first partition of the harddrive and then for some systems I have usb-pendrives connected with extensions and such. It would be nice to get a way to load the right keyboard map so I won't have to memorize the english keyboard map.

Have fun.

Why not add the file in a remaster, and then add the bootcode kmap=sv-latin1 ?

Hi curaga!

Thanks for your post. I have figured out how to do it in a simpler way. I just shut the x-server down and give the command to change the kmap and then start x again. It wasn't more complicated than that.

Have fun,

if u use jwm u can put loadkmap in .jwmrc

That would probably limit the kmap change to X only (which may be sufficient depending on use)

Hi again "hats"!

It works in all programs that I use, including aterm, so that's sufficient for me. I'm not sure what you are getting at with your last post. Therefore the question mark.

Have fun,

I was referring to the .jwmrc
