So load the correct keyboard tables. The kernel is not and never has been a keyboard layout manager. That is a policy item, and the fact you may want differing behaviour and policy for different systems means it needs to stay so. > > BTW now that almost all the X userspace has been converted to use > fontconfig and modern TrueType/OpenType fonts, I expect the level of > attention fonts in legacy bitmap format receive to drop sharply, which > will ultimately lead to problems kernel console-side. The bitmap fonts don't change so this sounds like complete garbage. Even if you want a new bitmap font from a monospace truetype one the complexity of rendering a bitmap font data set is mindnumbing low, trivial and automatable. _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
