keyboard layout on macppc
I have just installed OpenBSD 5.5 on ibook G3 12'' 800Mhz. My problem is italian keyboard layout. $ wsconsctl encoding=it wsconsctl: encoding it: no such variable I don't understand why, on i386 and amd64 works well, I have problems only on macppc arch. Many thanks. -- Information wants to be free

Because looking here http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sbin/wsconsctl/keysym.c?rev=1.7 I can see that IT is not present in base system. Of course you can still switch to IT in X with setxkbmap

IT is present. see http://.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/wscons/wsksymdef.h?rev=1.36 The following is my guess since i havn't seen a dmesg: The computer has the keyboard hanging on adb, and adb keyboard driver doesn't have an IT layout. The later verified. -moj

There is akbd Apple Keyboard Device and an item is Apple ibook Keyboard, can i use it for my purpose? -- Information wants to be free

Do it as a script so you can redo it when ever needed. wsconsctl keyboard.map will show the current map. When you have something useful it would be easy to convert it to the internal keyboard map format in sys/dev/adb/akbdmap.h. Most large maps starts with US and modifies it. -moj -- Information wants to be free
