Happens here as well, also since upgrading to kdb-1.15.1. In my case, spanish (es) keyboard, utf-8 and euro fix enabled: KDSKBENT: Argumento inválido failed to bind key 13 to value 61601 KDSKBENT: Argumento inválido failed to bind key 41 to value 61626 KDSKBENT: Argumento inválido failed to bind key 4 to value 61623 KDSKBENT: Argumento inválido failed to bind key 13 to value 61631 KDSKBENT: Argumento inválido failed to bind key 41 to value 61610 KDSKBENT: Argumento inválido failed to bind key 7 to value 61612 KDSKBENT: Argumento inválido failed to bind key 18 to value 61604 KDSKBENT: Argumento inválido failed to bind key 46 to value 61602 Also, unrelated to this bug (I think): I actually have to specify "qwerty/es" as my keymap. If I only use "es", it automatically chooses the OLPC spanish keymap, instead of the "normal PC" one. It's not exclusive of Gentoo. It has happened on any distro I've ever tried since the OLPC keymaps were introduced.
Hi guys! I wrote the patch which most likely causes your problems. May I ask you to test whether a plain “loadkeys $KEYMAP” does what you expect or whether it fails in the same way? This could really help me figure out where exactly the problem is.

kbd 1.15 used to temporarily set the kbd_mode to unicode with loadkeys -u. kbd 1.15.1 doesn't. Changing the init script to run kbd_mode before loadkeys gets rid of the errors. Running /etc/init.d/keymaps restart succeeds. Running kbd_mode -a and then /etc/init.d/keymaps restart gives the errors.
To clarify without initscript: this worked in 1.15, not in 1.15.1: kbd_mode -a && loadkeys -u us && kbd_mode -u which is roughly what happens with the initscript.
I see, thanks for your analysis. In kbd 1.15.1, you can drop the “-u” switch altogether; loadkeys will have a look at your keyboard mode and automatically convert between 8-bit and Unicode as needed (regardless of whether the keymap file uses keysym names, U+… specifications, etc.). This means that you can just run “kbd_mode -[au]” followed by “loadkeys $KEYMAP” to get the desired result. I admit that the “-u” switch is absolutely pointless, confusing and broken right now; I’ll see about re-introducing the brief-switch-to-Unicode feature for compatibility reasons. You are still encouraged to change your init script as described. And I’d love to know whether it works for you. Cheers!
Created attachment 209946 [details, diff] OpenRC keymaps init script patch This patch incorporates the above discussion as I read it. Anyone care to test and report back?
That's looking good. I'm getting no keymaps-related error messages on boot, and all key combinations I tried seem to work.
