From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: Dvorak keyboard layout does not work in virtual consoles. The dvorak layout works fine in X (default RH Bluecurve - gnome metacity), but the virtual consoles do not load the correct layout. In a virtual console while logged in as root or non-root user, running `loadkeys dvorak` results in the following output: Loading //lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/dvorak input in flex scanner failed Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kbd-1.08-6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Edit /etc/sysconfig/keyboard as follows: KEYBOARDTYPE="pc" KEYTABLE="dvorak" init 6 Actual Results: During init, the following messages are logged: Sep 1 09:22:39 vaio keytable: Sep 1 09:22:39 vaio keytable: Loading system font: Sep 1 09:22:39 vaio keytable: Sep 1 09:22:39 vaio rc: Starting keytable: failed Expected Results: Keyboard layout should load correctly for virtual consoles. Additional info: Dvorak layout within virtual consoles worked in RH8, but not RH9 and not Severn. Workaround: ANSI-dvorak layout works fine in both X and virtual consoles under Severn. I have not tested the dvorak-l (left) or dvorak-r (right) layouts.
