Hi All,
The tn5250 package has an add on keymap us5250.map that defines F21
thru F24, and a few other odds and ends, on the console keyboard.
I'm trying to use this keymap on gutsy and etch. I gather both of
them have converted to the console-tools package, which somehow uses
the X keymaps on the console.
I'm trying to figure out how to add my keymap additions to those
keymaps and so far I'm lost in a sea of documentation :-)
So, assuming I'm using a standard pc 104 us qwerty keyboard, how do
I add these entries to an X style keymap?
And no, the tn5250 project list doesn't know - they've mostly moved
on from using the console to X....
I don't know tn5250, but at least x3270 does its own keymapping. IIRC
c3270 used the same mappings. So try doing the mapping at the
application level.
I recall that the x3270 man page had a comprehensive and yet difficult
to understand description of that mapping.
