That should be http://homepage.ntlworld.com/zarniwhoop/console/uk-utf.map The keymap references a couple of files, unicode.map and compose.latin1. Are they part of a distribution of console-data (using Ubuntu)? During the last attempt to get compose support in the kernel at LKML, the response was that the kernel console support was supposed to provide facilities for emergency usage only (serial debugger, access to fsck, etc). Therefore, the patch described at http://www.advogato.org/person/simosx/diary.html?start=2 although it solved the problem, got rejected. (Also the patch was somewhat of a hack in the way it solved the problem). Simos -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
