Bug#605777: workaround for backspace key deletes forwards on the kFreeBSD console
The integration should be into /etc/init.d/kbdcontrol,
by adding two targets, like keymap-native and keymap-debian.
May be it can be run even semi-automatically, by
detecting whether the /etc/inittab uses cons25 or cons25-debian
and noop or alter keymap.
Yes, I like the latter (auto detection) part. Another solution could be a
debconf question in kbdcontrol (though it might be too late for this).
Attached is the proposed new /etc/init.d/kbdcontrol.
The current default is
FLAVOUR=auto
Should be the default auto or native ?
Is there still a time to do freebsd-utils upload ?
The only change against current one would be the new
/etc/init.d/kbdcontrol script.
Cheers

Bug#605777: workaround for backspace key deletes forwards on the kFreeBSD console
The change for freebsd-utils will be some new script like kbdcontrol -d | sed ... | kbdcontrol -l kbdcontrol -f 61 ESC[3~ TERM=cons25-debian Attached is the mentioned script. It have to be run directly on console or by sh keymap-policy.sh /dev/console The keymap is altered system wide, i.e. on all virtual consoles. And you have to manually set TERM=cons25-debian aftewards. The (current) reset back is /etc/init.d/kbdcontrol start kbdcontrol -F TERM=cons25 Please could you test whether it work with your native national keymap as expected ? The expected installed (and running) packages versions are: freebsd-utils 8.1-3.1 kfreebsd-8 8.1+dfsg-7.1 ncurses 5.7+20100313-5 RFC part: The integration should be into /etc/init.d/kbdcontrol, by adding two targets, like keymap-native and keymap-debian.
