I suppose white blocks might be a result of a console font which cannot display the glyph it was asked for. In a unicode font, that situation ought to show an inverse question mark (black-on-white for normally white-on-black text), but many fonts cannot do that. However, that doesn't explain why the backspace isn't effective. The backspace patch only changes this for a few keymaps which still gave Backspace instead of Delete - the last time I looked (some time before 1.15.3, so something might have slipped in), all of the other keymaps shipped in the package already did this. What do you have in /etc/sysconfig/console ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
