Re: Need your input for keymap configuration

[Hartmut Koptein <koptein@inwestnet.de>]

Hi all,

as you all may know, the console-data arch-detection routine is broken.

Powerc and m68k need some tests, i've not changed any of the m68k code, it
is the source from console-data.config. 


For the tests:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

my $arch = `dpkg --print-architecture`;
    $arch =~ s/\n//;
    if (($arch eq 'powerpc')) {
        $subarch = lc substr (`grep ^machine /proc/cpuinfo`, 11);
        $subarch =~ s/ .*//;
        $subarch =~ s/^amiga/apus/;
        $subarch =~ s/^macintosh/pmac/;
        $subarch =~ s/^powermac|powerbook*|power|imac*|powermac1*/pmac/;
        $arch = "$arch/$subarch";
    }

print "Arch ist: $arch\n\n";

console-data.config:

# Subarches
# FIXME: not done
# Issues:
# * /proc/hardware is for m68k (Machine)
# * /proc/cpuinfo is for powerpc (maschine)
#   Any fallback when it's not there ?   Kop: no!
# * USB set of keymap should contain what ? mac ? i386 ? subset of those ?
