That was what the sort of long post with the rc.sysinit exerpt was about. I have set /etc/sysconfig/keyboard = emacs2. And have had for at least a year and probably longer. I got it wrong in previous post though. Looks like the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script loads: /etc/sysconfig/console/default.kmap Only if the terminal is found to be `vt' by /sbin/consoletype. That only happens in console mode when pressing ATL-F<NUMBER> to get a terminal I think. It returns pty in an xterm. So I think I'm running with emacs2 as I have been for sometime. That business about default font sounds suspicious to me. log message .... rc.sysinit: Setting default font (lat0-sun16) Can anyone confirm if this is different than past defaults? _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
