sarge and kernel 2.6.18-grml (Erich Minderlein)
Hello I repeat this mail _console and keyboard_ I did not post a question in this mail, so it has been overlooked.
I removed console-terminus from the stable(sarge) package(250 kByte) and installed console-terminus from the testing(etch) package(565 kByte).
Adding SCREEN_FONT=Lat15-Terminus16 in /etc/console-tools/config did not help; rebooting, prompt login as root, the normal font with serifs shows up,
if I type unicode_start: answer : already in UTF8 mode
after some fiddling around, I remove /etc/console-tools/config.d/fonty and /etc/console-tools/config.d/ and now it boots and changes to Terminus 16 for all consoles. This will probably not survive an update of package fonty! --Meanwhile fonty removed without negative consequences.
Small Umlaut "ae,oe,ue" is properly printed on the console Capital Umlaut "Ae,Oe,Ue" and "scharf S"or (sz) like greek beta is not printed on the console, but results in circumflex accent ^^^^
dpkg-reconfigure console-common and dpkg-reconfigure console-data do not help, sometimes after testing these umlauts the console crashes and I get a new boot-prompt.
regards I think the events described are severe: pressing Capital Umlauts Ae Oe Ue leads to console possibly exit or crash Is is a bug in the console-terminus package or is it a bug in the keyboard driver or is it a bug in the interfaces associated with these packages and the kernel ? Is it a bug between sarge and etch ? Is it a bug in front of the display ? All that is possible. I believe that I have exhausted all combinations of rebooting, installing fonts and keyboard drivers, .... Do I have to adapt /etc/console-tools/remap ?
I add the result of showkey > somefile
kb Modus war UNICODE
Taste drücken (Programm beendet sich 10s nach dem letzten Tastendruck)...) 0x9c There are two funktion keys on the keyboard: Key Enveloppe press 0x00 0x81 0x9b release 0x80 0x81 0x9b key (i) Information symbol 0x00 0x81 0x96 0x80 0x81 0x96 kb Modus war UNICODE
Taste drücken (Programm beendet sich 10s nach dem letzten Tastendruck)...) key "Ae" 0x28 0xa8 key "Oe" 0x27 0xa7 key "Ue" 0x1a 0x9a key Return 0x1c 0x9c
Now from comparing the latter with the first, .. first UTF8 then UNICODE The latter was today immediately after a system boot. Small äöü (ae oe ue) work fine, capital Ae Oe Ue dont show on the console and result in three circumflex accent ^^^. Console specialists, what are the consequences ?
Thanks
