Guess guess, now keymap can be correctly switched multiple times between english and italian, and i also verified that- With de-latin1 keymap the @ symbol is obtained with AltGr-q - With sg-latin1 keymap the @ symbol is obtained with AltGr-2Are dead keys in the key map and working?
IIRC, a specific bug (394871) is still open about deadkeys not working, but i cannot verify by myself if deadkeys now work, as i don't have the necessary knowledge
All this with console in utf mode.I prepared a miniiso [1] for testing: could you dear d-i fellows please test and report whether your local keymap correctly works?CC'ing directfb-dev too: dok, do you believe managing keyboard via linux_input instead of keyboard module has any drawback?I'm wondering it makes a difference. Ville, IIRC, took the code from the keyboard driver.
maybe we should also try this workaround on PPC (i guess on AMD64 it makes no difference): any volunteer?
the iso is named that way because in /usr/local/bin you'll find test binaries from DirectFB-examples, which may be useful for debugging purposes, especially df_input:)
df_input is a really useful tool and i think we should shrink it by stripping all references to PNGs and fonts and put it in a libdirectfb-tools udeb togheter with dfbinfo.
