Description of Problem:kbd doesn't treaet correctly accented characters, euro sign, AltGr key, and so on... in text mode. Everthing OK in graphic mode. After running redhat-config-langage, accented chars appear correctly, but hitting backspace key after i for example erase two spaces (even the prompt)., Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):kbd-1.06.26 How Reproducible: Upgrade from RedHat 7.3 with fr-latin0 keymap, fr_FR@euro as locale, SYSFONT=lat0-sun16, and SYSFONTACM=iso15. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: described above Expected Results: Additional Information: I solved the problem by uninstalling kbd and kbdconfig-1.06.26, and reinstalling console-tools from redhat 7.3 and kbdconfig-1.06.26!!
latin0 was dropped and renamed to the correct latin9 with 1.08. Does kbd 1.08 work for you with the latin9 keymap?
I wasn't expecting anymore :-D Worksforme now with: - Fedora Core 1 and kbd 1.08. - in /etc/sysconfig/i18n: LANG="fr_FR" SUPPORTED="fr_FR.utf8:en_GB.iso885915:en_GB:en:en_US.iso885915:en_US:en:fr_FR@euro:fr_FR:fr" SYSFONT="lat9w-16" - in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard: KEYBOARDTYPE="pc" KEYTABLE="fr-latin9" any other combination I could try doesn't work full, which means either no ⬠(euro) sign, no accents with man, etc...
Sorry: with above conf (locale=fr_FR, KEYTABLE="fr-latin9"), ⬠(euro) sign did work in text mode, but didn't in X after reboot, at least in emacs, where I need it badly. So I had to go back to: locale = fr_FR@euro KEYTABLE="fr-latin9" alias man='LANG=fr_FR man'
Diacritics and euro sign, are now OK with locale ="fr_FR@euro" SYSFONT="lat9w-16". But some apps don't accept fr_FR@euro e.g. system-config-users. Furthermore, I get errors related to utf8 and pango, e.g. with evolution.
Comment 4: as for certain apps not accepting the locale, bugs need to be filed against the apps. Seems to work ok with respect to kbd, so re-closing.
