Hello:
First post. =-)
My boot option kmap=qwertz/LA-latin1 seems to work everywhere but inside terminal.
Where should it be set up and how?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
TC

It's a TCore 6.30 frugal installation on a 256Mb CFCard mounted on a CF->IDE adaptor.

Hi tinycore,
welcome in your forum!
A look into /usr/share/kmap indicates only qwerty/la-latin1. Have a look at your keyboard if perhaps this is the right one?

Hello Volkerp:
welcome in your forum!
Thanks ... =-D

You're quite right.
The stanza is as you indicate.
--- in /mnt/sda1/syslinux.cfg
APPEND initrd=/tce/boot/core.gz quiet kmap=qwerty/la-latin1 waitusb=5:UUID="4C95-043A" host=GROUCHO tce=UUID="4C95-043A" showapps

My bad, I was typing from memory.
Like I said, it seems to work everywhere except in terminal.
Cheers,
TC

Hi tinycore,
indeed, there are some language specific characters you can't print in the terminal. It's the same for me.
F.i. I can't print the German letters ä,ö,ü,ß. But what do you need them for?
In the terminal you type commands and they have only ASCII conform characters.
If you use a program in the terminal like f.i. the text editor vim and edit a text file, then again all characters are at your diposal.

Hello again volkerp:
indeed, there are some language specific characters ...
Sure enough, I have no need for áéíóú, äëëïöü, â or ñ either ...
At least not in terminal. =-)
The problem is with the kb layout.
ie: when I type " _ " I get " ? " as the LA layout is not being used in terminal in lieu of the regular US layout as seems to be in the rest of the apps (Editor, for example).
I recall having had the same issue long ago in one of the Ubuntus I tried but cannot recall how it was (if it was) solved.
Thanks for the input.

Oh, you can't type an underscore. That's strange. I myself don't have that poblem. Perhaps experts can help. Otherwise I will look for the problem some days later.

This one? http://www.goodtyping.com/teclatLAT.htm
I loaded la-latin1, and could type the underscore in aterm just fine (shift and -). To be sure, you mean aterm and not the linux console (ie out of X)?

Yes, that's the one.

Well ...
I really don't know what to make of this. :-\
Now it is working and I have not changed anything at all.
Thanks for the input.
