--- Comment #2 from Koine Yuusuke <koi...@yahoo.co.jp> --- Thank you for you interest in the patch. Unfortunately, I understand that the your suggestions are difficult for the following reasons. The virtual PS2 keyboard driver of the bhyve has a table for converting ASCII code for keys that can be expressed in ASCII characters and Xorg keysym code for keys that cannot be expressed in ASCII characters (example Enter or Escape key,etc) to ScanCode Set2 of the PS2 keyboard. This patch updates this conversion table based on the layout setting file. The /usr/share/vt/keymaps/* file contain the correspondence of ASCII characters or key names (key names is unique to vt/syscons, not Xorg keysym) corresponding to the scancode (for vt/syscons) converted from ScanCode Set2 of the PS2 keyboard device. In addition, I confirmed that the conversion algorithm from ScanCode Set2 of the PS2 keyboard to scancode (for vt/syscons) is implemented in /usr/src/sys/dev/atkbdc/atkbd.c, so I think that it is not impossible to use the /usr/share/vt/keymaps/* file as the basis for the keys that can be represented by ASCII characters. (Since it has not been examined in detail, I don't understand whether ScanCode Set2 of the PS2 keyboard can actually be converted from scancode (for vt/syscons) to the reverse.) On the other hand, a key that cannot be represented by ASCII characters cannot be supported because the value of Xorg keysym value doesn't exist in /usr/share/vt/keymaps/* file. (For reference, the value of Xorg keysym value is in the /usr/local/include/X11/keysymdef.h) Therefore, even if the key layout conversion information that can be expressed in ASCII characters is acquired from /usr/share/vt/keymaps/* file, the key that cannot be expressed in ASCII characters cannot be acquired from /usr/share/vt/keymaps/* file, and thus I think that a layout configuration file for each language is required. If you have a good idea to use /usr/share/vt/keymaps/* file, please let me know. (I also don't want to have a layout configuration file for bhyve apart from /usr/share/vt/keymaps/* file. But I did this because I couldn't think of any other simple way...) - Koine Yuusuke (koinec) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
