Description Gwenn Englebienne 2003-05-09 17:16:34 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225

Description of problem:
"loadkeys dvorak" or "loadkeys azerty" fails because the name of the .map.gz
file is the same as the directory the file is located in. e.g. dvorak.map.gz is
located in .../dvorak/dvorak.map.gz


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.08-4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select dvorak in the keyboard layout
2. use the text-mode console (in X everythin's fine)


Actual Results:  The keyboards ends up in qwerty

Expected Results:  I would have liked to be able to type my login passwd in the
layout of my keyboard

Additional info:

The solution is either to rename the directory (e.g. .../dvorak.d/dvorak.map.gz)
or to append '.map' to the parameter of loadkeys (e.g loadkeys dvorak.map) in
the configuration script:

loadkeys $KEYTABLE < /dev/tty0 > /dev/null 2>&1

becomes

loadkeys ${KEYTABLE}.map < /dev/tty0 > /dev/null 2>&1

Comment 2 Eido Inoue 2003-07-25 16:57:04 UTC
the ".map" extension is now added to the parameter within the init script
