Hello, I have been looking for an hour or so who is responsible for the VT switch shortcuts. It is set within the keymaps, there is a very good (and old but good) article about this: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/187.
Now I have been looking for an appropriate place to call loadkeys with a custom map file during the boot, unfortunately without success. I had like to call loadkeys just after the one that is called upon login. When you switch to vt-1 you can see Loading /lib/kbd..., I quickly tried to trace when this is called, and it is definitely long after rc.sysinit -- count that in milliseconds however ;-). The rc.local file is execute after running xinetd in rc.sysinit or somewhere around that, which isn't either a good place. Is there a place for this at all? I guess that the proper fixing would be somewhere like in the kernel kms? In all cases, I can let you know how it is possible to turn the VT switch shortcuts off (whatever they are called actually). First find your keymaps file: grep KEYTABLE /etc/sysconf/keyboard That should give the current setting of the KEYTABLE, source /etc/sysconf/keyboard find /lib/kbd/keymaps -name "*$KEYTABLE*" and that should print the location of the file. Second create a custom file: zcat <KEYMAPS_FILE> grep Console > custom.map and than the file needs proper hand editing. In the end it should look like this one: http://snipt.org/pkok take care this is for fr-latin9. I replaced Console_... against VoidSymbol in all the lines that were like "<modifier> keycode <code> = Console_<foo>" and "keycode <code> = Console_<foo>." You can run a test with one or two lines (that's what I have done first) and parse the file with: loadkeys custom.map. I finally placed the file into /usr/local/etc/custom.map. For the moment I have put the following line in /etc/rc.local to load it: (sleep 5 && loadkeys /usr/local/etc/custom.map)& and it works fine. -- Mike _______________________________________________ Moblin dev Mailing List [email protected] To manage or unsubscribe from this mailing list visit: http://lists.moblin.org/listinfo/dev or your user account on http://moblin.org once logged in.
