I see; you can use the very same iso and boot using "install DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt" and
eventually append also "priority=medium"

well, it's not yet clear what is going on;
I've noticed the following :
when loading the keymap using the graphical frontend, you get the
following warnings:
INFO: kbd_chooser: setting keymap fr-latin9
WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 cedilla
WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 acute
WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 diaeresis
WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 brokenbar
WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 threequarters
WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 currency
WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 onehalf
WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 onequarter
and those are printed only if kbd_mode is different from "3"
(K_UNICODE, from <linux/kd.h>); using some extra logs I noticed that
kbd_mode is "2" (K_MEDIUMRAW) when running the graphical frontend
and looking at the directfb sources (inputdrivers/keyboard/keyboard.c)
if (ioctl( dfb_fbdev->vt->fd, KDSKBMODE, K_MEDIUMRAW ) < 0) {
D_PERROR( "DirectFB/Keyboard: K_MEDIUMRAW failed!\n" );
...
info->desc.max_keycode = 127;
I've tried to change that into K_UNICODE and s/127/255/
the warnings disappear, but I can't get the accented letters I get on VT2
(for example "["+"e" give me "ê" when I use fr-latin9 on my italian keyboard)
regards,
Davide
