Bug 14306 – /etc/init.d/keymaps does not switch keyboard to unicode mode...

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Danny Milosavljevic 2003-01-21 11:53:39 UTC]

the keymaps init script does not switch the keyboard to unicode mode if setting f. e. KEYMAP="-u de-latin1-nodeadkeys" in /etc/rc.conf... this leads loadkeys to complaining... no big deal though :)

Fixed on cvs, thanks.  This should hit baselayout-1.8.6.3.
